Appreciation post about Cromite (and PrivacyBrowser) (lemmy.ml)

After debloat my android (i dont have a custom ROM for my oneplus) I started use Cromite and Mull. I used duckduckgo app during a few months, but sometimes I feel it a bit clunky. Overall is a good app but I decided try another browsers and forget about DDG. Mull has a good UI and has a nice tools like Ublock and others , but the connection .... Is VERY slow. Take a bunch of time to enter on any site, and I did this with and without uBlock.

Otherwise, we need to talk about Cromite... Fellas, Im speechless! What a browser. So responsive, fast and privacy friendly. Have a sandbox integrated too. I know Cromite has some bugs, i know, but for an open source app, is amazing, imo.

Im trying today PrivacyBrowser and looks very good too. I need more days to get a final conclusion, but feels very promissing for my point of view. Seems a little complicated to the beginning, but with more days i guess i will understand more

Give these apps (Cromite and PrivacyBrowser) a try. They deserve and I guess they dont let you down.

(Yeah, my english is pretty bad, sorry :/ )

EDIT: Looks like I'm wrong, Fennec is still maintained. Seems the difference is that Mull is more strict about privacy, which means more sites may not work.

Original comment:

I forget what it was, but I think Mull is the "better" Firefox flavor right now. Maybe Fennec is no longer maintained? Idk. Maybe it'll come up if you search it.

Cromite is different. It's based on chromium instead of Firefox. Mull (and maybe Fennec?) probably has better privacy overall. There's a comparison page somewhere out there.

Fennec IS maintained and receives regular updates.

I use Mull as well. I think it's a bit more heavy-handed than Fennec as far as I understand, so I think it comes down to how much convenience you're willing to give up for privacy/security. Both are a step in the right direction, though.
