Hey everybody. I’m somewhat new to the field of privacy, but I am eager to learn. Right now I am wondering what mobile web browser to use for everyday activities. I’m running GrapheneOS. Options that often come to mind:
- Tor
- Firefox Focus (= Firefox Klar in German)
- IronFox (formerly Mull Browser)
- Cromite
- Vanadium
I feel like I simply don’t know enough about the underlaying mechanisms to elaborate which might be better and which might be worse. Feel free to teach me!
What’s your threat vector? From whom do you want to be concealed?
Mostly big corporate, big tech, and the US gov’t and its intelligence services. I am already in the process of migrating my digital environment towards Linux + self-hosting, but browsing remains a challenge to me.
Basically: I don’t want my devices location, metadata and telemetry to be tracked by anyone.
You could use a VPN and then make sure that your fingerprint is common. But if the VPN is compromised you will reveal your browsing behaviour. You also stand out when you use it.
