I’m looking for something like Librewolf which I’m using daily on my desktop but for Android.
IronFox
Thanks, this is what I was looking for
Why do you think GrapheneOS uses Chromium as a base for its browser, Vandium?
Its because, unfortunately, Firefox on Android is lacking in security relative to Chromium.
I use Firefox based browsers on my desktop, but for Android, I mainly stick to chromium-based ones, such as Cromite and Vandium.
But, if you’re insistent on using Firefox on Android, then IronFox.
You’re talking about security, are you also talking about privacy?
I that depends on how much privacy you lose when your browser can’t properly sandbox and provide site isolation.
A fair question to be asked: does sandboxing really matter if you view all sites on the one-origin-at-a-time and incognito-only basis? This way there’s no way for one site to escape its sandbox and get into another site’s cookies (because there are no another site’s cookies) and there’s also no way (theoretically) to escape the app sandbox imposed by Android itself and mingle with another app’s data, right?
Which is why I have my Firefox based browsers on Android set to only open up private windows.
But that’s not how I normally use web browsers, so yeah, sandboxing does matter if you have more regular browsing habits, such as not using incognito all the time.
fennec is the best ff fork on android, imho.
