Loved it & used it for such a long time because at the time it was the only android browser with extension capability ...but it's on an outdated version of Chromium & development seems to have ceased. Switched to Firefox which is great, though I still miss "open new tab in group"
Vivaldi has been very good on my desktop as well as on Android. It's a chrome fork made by some people who left the Opera dev team.
Brave!
I use Mull (hardened firefox) and Cromite (chromium but a bit hardened and an ad-blocker)
Firefox, especialy because of extensions like ublock, and sponsor block. But also because of features like total cookie protection. Where cross site 3rdparty cookies are sandboxed for each site.
And Read Outlout! So handy for all these news stories on Lemmy.
I like Vivaldi a lot
Vivaldi works so good on my phone it's insane. Outlook, Teams, Workday, and so many other work apps I no longer need to have because Vivaldi just runs them so smooth.
Firefox, it has ublock origin
firefox, because ublock origin and sync with my desktop pc: same bookmarks on both and sending tabs to other device when i need to.
Mull & brave
Firefox because Ublock Origin is the best ad blocker.
Firefox + the following addons:
TWP
uBlock origin
Dark Reader
Consent-o-matic
Is TWP "Translate Web Pages"? Android Firefox has a built-in feature for that, since like this version or so. 🙃

Firefox. I ain't using anything else.
Firefox.
Firefox. Perfect? No. But we gotta fight the Chrome monopoly. And most (all, I'm pretty sure) other browsers for Android are Chromium based. Using one of those still hands Google control of the web.
Firefox because it works perfectly for me, and it's customizable with extensions.
firefox fork, iceraven. i got some issues in firefox that's why i'm using its fork
Same :D
Can I ask what issues? I'm using Firefox but open to changing if there's better options!
I know a lot of the current issues are about ideology and privacy. Mozilla seemingly pivoting away from fighting for privacy and into AI, supposedly most recently including integration with remote AI, including Google's, while not implementing the top feature requests... I'm personally sticking with Firefox for now, but it does make me wary.
Firefox for the add-ons, sync, and other features, but I have set Firefox Focus as the default that most apps open pages in. From there I can open pages in regular Firefox if I need or want to. Firefox Focus acts as a sort of default private browsing mode.
I'm using Firefox too rn. I was using Vivaldi but I decided that it was time to abandon chromium.
Mull (Firefox)
I'll get killed here.
Opera. Works pretty well with always on desktop mode (scaling) and has a nice UI. I also occasionally use the built-in VPN to bypass my DNS blocking quickly.
Went from Firefox to Brave, because the UX is better by a longshot. Also supports accountless sync.
Mull with plenty of extensions and changes in about:config and JavaScript off by default.
Vanadium if on GrapheneOS if more features needed (i.e. JavaScript), barring that, Mulch appears to be equivalent.
Firefox with a handful of extensions for day to day use
I keep Brave with custom configuration ready for when extra privacy is needed. Firefox based browsers on Android are currently missing site isolation so that's what privacy guides recommends for the time being.

It might be cool to see something like Zen on Android, but I'm not sure what changes I'd like to see aesthetics / features wise. Brave looks fancier, but I find it annoying to use for a number of reasons. Off the top of my head
-
when you close a tab, the undo message stays for way too long and can't be dismissed

Unable to disable chromecast
What Firefox extensions are you using on mobile? I have a few (e.g. uBlock Origin), but I'm always interested in hearing about other good ones.
uBlock Origin is the main one
Search by Image and Web Archives are two others that I like to have on mobile
I'd love to learn some more as well :)

I"ve been using Fennec as my default.
Tried all. Brave works perfectly on Android. No need for extra add-ons etc.
Mull (available on F-Droid)...it's like a hardened version of Firefox
Iceraven (firefox fork that lets me do more with it) and Mull.
