        I’d say go with Firefox with uBlock Origin as your tracker blocker.

        No other browsers on @CopperheadOS and F-Droid :-/ at least it's Chromium, not Chrome. Desktop is FF and @brave

        There are a bunch of other browsers but our Chromium builds are more secure than any of those and don't have privacy issues like this.

        Firefox is available as org.gnu.icecat on F-Droid but that's pretty much the least secure browser option available. Most are WebView ones.

        WebView is just Chromium via our hardened Chromium builds, but the Chromium WebView sandbox isn't as good as the standalone Chromium.

        Brave could have security parity with our Chromium if we had the time to make hardened builds of Brave, assuming they update it promptly.

        Since on Android, it's really just a lightly modified Chromium. They mostly add content filtering via EasyList-style blocking subscriptions.

        I love @CopperheadOS that gives us sovereignty on our phones, thank you for making it. It's on others now to publish more on F-Droid.
