Phew, scared me for a bit. Thanks!

Wait, so you're telling me I can't use drive with a degoogled phone?

Try VanillaOS. Love it and had my first linux distro in may. Literally the smoothest experience so far.

I feel that. I had my foreskin removed due to medical reasons when I was a child. Could not imagine doing that to my child without reason

May I ask if you use a custom rom? And would you use vanadium if you could?

Thanks for the related thread. Appreciate it.

I do not give two craps :)

First of, thank you. Second, could you expand a little more on why lacking per site isolation is not so significant in your case?

Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Cromite and Vanadium (self.privacyguides)
 

I am a newcomer to the space and want to know some stuff about the mentioned mobile browsers. Information on them seems a little sparse to me. I am aware of Brave, however on my current device it is very buggy and I do not like the company's reputation. I am aware of Firefox and it's derivatives and the benefit they bring against chrome's monopoly, however I believe that it's non existing sandboxing is an issue and would therefore like to exclude them for mobile use.

Bromite seems to have been abandoned as it's owner appears to be in a war zone (My heart goes out to you Carl!). As for this reason, Cromite was forked from Bromite by the main contributor to Bromite. This in itself raises several question for me:

  1. Is Cromite as good as Bromite was in it's golden age?
  2. Does Cromite have some catching up to do, before it becomes an alternative to other browsers again?
  3. Can the project be trusted under different ownership?
  4. Is it not listed on PrivacyGuides.org as it is "new", or as it's got an issue? I know that Bromite was once recommended.
  5. Would you yourself use or recommend Cromite? If yes/no, why so?

Also, how does Vanadium compare privacy wise? I know it's the bomb for security, however it's developer(s) did not specifically target privacy if I understood correctly. If I were to get GrapheneOS, I'd be happy to use it's stock browser.

What about a vm/cloud based browser? I have found very little about them, but could imagine they'd make it hard to track someone.

I have it, and while I am not quite sure yet what they do with my data, you can run the app in offline mode.
