    I came here to joke about my Firefox browser, but I guess it’s not chromium, yay! Any particular phone browsers that you would recommend?

      In the least use Fennec or better Ironfox. However Ironfox is breaking some websites occasionally or can be just slow loading pages so I have both installed and use them both.

        I used ironFox until recently it started randomly timing out on websites that work fine everywhere else. So I’m back to FF on Android.

          FF took privacy out of their policy. At this point, why not just DDG. I also use SearXist, and you can randomize the engine instances used to avoid fingerprinting.

            Nope, that was just a really silly context-free git diff that people seized on as if it meant something deep. They edited one piece of documentation to have different wording. Privacy is still very much a part of their branding.

            why not just DDG.

            Because that is still using the Chrome engine and thus allowing their monopoly to thrive. The literal only thing you can do to slow/stop Google’s stronghold on the web is to use another browser, not based on Chromium.
