Vivaldi synced with the Desktop
Brave browser. Just works.
Iceraven, because I like having 1000 extensions lol
Vanadium. It is supposedly quite secure. Comes with GrapheneOS. So far I'm very happy with it.
Iceraven you can use any extension of your choise
Firefox. I do have chrome for when I need to quickly navigate japanese sites (usually government/visa stuff)
I use firefox, fennec, chrome if I have to, and violincello for articles, text-only browsing on android for the win
have you tried Reader mode on Firefox? I found it works really well for articles and blog posts, and it's how I usually end up reading them.
Waterfox because I liked Firefox for years then it got bloated and Waterfox is less bloated.
Cromite because PWAs
I use the DDG App. It closes all my tabs automatically, I'm the type of person to have hundreds or thousands of tabs open and don't need that on my phone.
Plus it's like incognito mode by default, saving cookies on only the sites I explicitly tell it to
I'm sure I can configure Firefox in a similar way but DDG just feels good to me.
Vivaldi, blocks ads and I'm not that big of a firefox fan.
Depends on usage. If I have 2 hands available Firefox, u lock Origin is a must on a modern web. But if I need one hand free for… let’s say holding an umbrella, then cromite, based on the chrome fork based off of bromite. As much as I don’t like chrome, on Android it’s the only browser that has gestures, which makes one handed usage perfect. Cromite, just has adblockers built int and lacks many of the tracking stuff too.
Cromite.
Snappier than anything else (With real dark mode, adblocker, anti fingerprint and great security).
Never could get used to Firefox on mobile how hard I try.
On Desktop, it's Linux with Librewolf.
Pure Browser, and then I disable Javascript.
Give it a try! Browsing the internet is lightning fast, and for pages that need Javascript I just load them in my other browser (Ecosia)
Chrome, because Ticketmaster can eat a bag of dicks.
Soul browser because it's the most complete and most customizable. Just a little bug currently made me switch to firefox, but as soon as it gets patched I'll go back.
Is there an Android browser that has ad blocking but still allows you to sign into your Google account?

Cromite
Because Firefox scrolling is terrible on android otherwise I'd use it.
My only complaint with Mull is the 60hz lock. I know it's inevitable if you want 'resist fingerprinting' enabled, but it is really noticeable after using 120hz for a while.
I can't help but think it should be possible as it's a client-sided issue, and there is no reason the browser can't simply advertise itself as 60hz but actually allow 120hz scrolling, but this is something for Mozilla to fix.
Brave.
Chrome because of the integration and syncing and my passwords being available across my devices without having to install another app, and memorising yet another set of login details.
Kiwi browser. It is a fast one and has a smooth scrolling. I tested a lot if them. Also address bar at the bottom is a must.
I like Brave because it's fast and smooth with great AdBlock and security.
Brave on my 10 year old phone
Kiwi on my up to date phone
