After trying different browsers on android I found Privacy Browser to be what I need. It have encrypted backups,Domain settings,jsless by default,Deleting all site data and Most usable UI. Only issue is It is based on webview and I am using system default webview as my device is nonrooted so how secure is to go this way?

what do you mean by secure, as far as "is it safe to use this browser" then yes, webview is reasonably secure, it's still running chrome. you have all of the security benefits and everything else, wont have to worry too much about malware or anything else. however if you mean by private then well, it's chrome. everything that sketches people out about chrome is all there too
