Right now, my default is Cromite, and I occasionally use Brave as well. I have tried Firefox with uBO, but unfortunately it is slower than the aforementioned browsers and also lacks some features. I’ve also heard that Gecko-based browsers in general have a security issue on Android, but I don’t know the details. Which browser(s) do you use/recommend and why?

    Brave and DuckDuckGo because they’re cross-platform and give you the option to sync your bookmarks.

    DuckDuckGo has Duck Player which I use if I need to watch something on YouTube, I have it set to open in a new window and no ads.

    I like Brave because it’s fast and the search is fairly accurate. You can add a video to it’s Playlist for later viewing. Brave gives you the share option to Copy Clean Link.

    I used (and loved Firefox) until they revoked their promise of not selling user data and seems sluggish for the past several months, but I still use Firefox Focus.

    I use both android and iOS which is why I prefer cross-platform software.

      I used DuckDuckGo until they added AI slop. I now use Floorp, a Mozilla fork based in Japan, and Tor Browser for links. I try to go outside the US for software as much as possible.
