As per title, Help me choose a browser for android I have non rooted device. After all the researches I found best for me would be 1: Mull but with Some way for knowing which site have saved any data on my device (Maybe by extension or some defined page like about:config type) But as per my research I do not found any such thing. 2:Cromite or like it but with extension support like kiwi. 3:Privacy browser but just give assurance that google will not track me (as I have nonrooted device I have default webview).

I dont think that Vivaldi,Opera or brave stand anywhere when it is about privacy.

Help/advice/correct me!

    U did not readed it well. As firefox on android do not have sandboxing and segregation things It cant give individual websites permissions like js cookie etc. Firefox due to same reason cannot tell about WHICH SITE IS SAVING WHAT DATA ON MY DEVICE.I need to know that info so I am asking for any solution but as per what I know there are no solutions

    Sorry for poor english

      cant give individual websites permissions like js cookie etc.

      Don’t you think there is a reason why none of browsers provide this feature? Do you seriously want to open a website and be greeted with 30 pop ups asking “do you want to allow javascript on api.example.com website?”. Then instantly “do you want to allow loading static images/media on api.example.com website?”. Point is - it’s not how web works.

      WHICH SITE IS SAVING WHAT DATA ON MY DEVICE

      Imagine in your perfect world you get a pop up saying “Firefox has detected that example.com has saved 2 cookies on your device and they consume 43 bytes of your storage space. Do you want to delete them?”. Again, even if it saves cached data (static images) - why would you care? Firefox has addons that can help you to get rid of tracking cookies.

      Please learn on how internet works. There is no such thing as “website”, especially in your context. Technically, your requested features could be possible to implement, but that would break like 100℅ of websites. And what you are probably looking for is something like Postman, but for Android. 🙆

        Noscript does exactly that. Poorly there is no exception to allow x origin only on y domain. But yeah, its supported very well

        But all this is available in desktop Firefox. Partially built-in, partially via add-ons. The mobile version is very limited.

        Don’t you think there is a reason why none of browsers provide this feature? Cromite does provide it I am writing this reply from it and only some website have js enabled like lemmy instance I use,masto etc. Rest open without it and if something breaks I change settings for it. But I dont hate js, its fine and I was just explaining how I want things to happen. *Firefox has detected that example.com has saved 2 cookies … * I was not saying that but as in chromium or in ff desktop u can check which site have saved what data in settings I just want something like that (Nobody wants that much interupping popups) that would break like 100℅ of websites. Chrome does it and everything works

      Firefox has Total Cookie Protection, each website has own cookies jar, it is isolated from other websites.

      You may install some cookies extension to see individual cookies for every site, I did not used any myself, as I dont care about it, but I used CookiesAutoDelete extension, as replacement for Brave’s “forgetful browsing”, which deletes all cookies, if you do not whitelist websites, which you want cookies to be saved.

      I just quickly searched Mozilla extensions and seems like Cookies Quick Manager shows every data of all cookies. There others as well, even Cookies Editor to edit them?

      Anyway chromium browsers also show limited info about stored data, Kiwi shows number of cookies, which is not helpful. Brave shows size of stored data, which is not helpful either. So your best option is Mull, if you really need extensions.

      Edit. Vivaldi is not that bad and collects less data, than Mozilla does. Opera is privacy nightmare. Brave is actually very good and better than all of them, as sync is accountless, data is not collected at all. Sure if you will not use Account in Vivaldi or Firefox/Mull they became similar to Brave as well, less fingerprints protection, but that is extreme cases. Accouns is main spy tools, not telemetry, which is mostly harmless.

          Yes, looks like this. But that is only for bookmarks… Also seems abandoned. Anyway I use Floccus to sync bookmarks between browsers.

        I tried some addons and probably cookie is not only form of data. As I was loggined on piped.video but there were no cookie showing in quick cookie manager I also used cookie auto delete and piped data was not deleted. I dont have technical details but in an addon (Name was probably something like forget forever) which claim to delete all site data. There were about 10 types of data listed including cookie,IndexDb,Session storage etc. That extension was also not able to remove that data (Was showing not available on your platform).

          Use noscript and ublock to control what gets to your browser and what gets executed there. Noscript is so underrated, its literally the best way to remove tracking. All these superficial blockers cant reach manual opt-in for javascript, selected by origin.

          Forgetmenot replaces firefox desktop functionality, but does even more.
