skyfire Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 For me Brave and the chrome work well. I prefer not to use firefox as it is horrible resource hungry on mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox focus is far more efficient and is more privacy centric and can use biometric security so that anyone using your phone needs your fingerprint to use it.

Empire Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Honestly? Google Chrome. I use Android's private DNS setting for system wide adblocking so I don't really need a browser that supports adblocker plugins. What is important for me is that my Android apps are in sync with my desktop apps. I still like Google Chrome on Windows and this is why I prefer to use it on mobile too.
