"Fast" means "close" or "almost" in German. Yeah, I agree. They almost had me convinced there were no alternatives to their little browser-data-collector-thingy.
Firefox or any other non chromium based browser
There are chromium browsers that respect privacy. Vanadium for example
And yet it’s still using chromium, which means it’s still perpetuating all of the issues that Google is currently pushing. Things like Web Environment Integrity API, which is designed to make adblocking virtually impossible and make tracking easier than ever. Or Manifest V3, which is basically purpose-built to block adblocker extensions from running, by limiting the amount of control they have to edit webpages.
Saying that the browser is fine because it respects privacy is a little bit like saying your stoner uncle is cool because he buys alcohol for you and the rest of your 12 year old friends. It’s not really something we should be praising.
What are you even saying? You went off rail really fast I said there are chromium that respect privacy. There are other. And there are good browsers that don't depend on chromium
Chromium is compromised... not just Chrome itself. Anything downstream of Chromium is gets all of Google's recent malware like adblock-prevention and web-DRM baked right in.
No matter the downstream projects' goals, they are still working from a compromised upstream source.
Yet every single android user do not have a choice. Use a good chromium based browser OR use a chromium based webview PLUS Firefox gecko with security issues since Sandboxing is lightyears behind chromium. Get off your 🚬 🐎
It doesn't sound like you understand that Firefox is available on Android?
It doesn't sound like you understand what a webview is. Or have a clue about Firefox crappy Sandboxing on mobile.
I know that I recently switched to Firefox on android and have been much happier since. Go ahead and lick that boot tho because: SaNdBOxInG
Yea, no you are using chromium webview AND Firefox you utter imbecile , go lick chrome boot. Are you really this dense? Have fun pretending. You just got both chrome issues and Firefox issues instead of just having chrome issues.
You're very confused. Yes I know what a web view is. Bye.
Yea I guessed you did a search , good to learn new stuff eh. I'm not confused a bit. Where do you get that from?
Its not very good tho
Disagree. What gave you this idea?
