Favourite browsers to use

Hello,

Among these browsers available in fdroid, what would you suggest ? Which one do you prefer ?

Fennec
jQuarks
Midori
Duckduckgo
SmartCookieWeb
Privacy Browser

Maybe I forgot some.

Thanks

I am the developer of Privacy Browser. It is not for everyone, but I can answer any questions about how it works for those who have a strong desire for privacy while online.

Also in F-droid settings, repositories, check Guardian Project Official Releases, and you find Torbrowser.

Another to consider is Mull, available by adding divestos.org/fdroid/official repository.

Bromite is good.

Bromite, Mull, and Tor Browser are my recommendations.

I maintain a basic browser comparison table here:

Full disclosure: Mull is my fork. I also have commits in ‘Lightning’, ‘FOSS Browser’, and ‘Fennec’.

That’s a pretty cool comparison.

Great.
How did you get Foss Browser to work ? It looks really cool, but adress/search field does not work with the last version. Stuck on the home page.

How can I try Mull on my Lineage phone?
Thank you.

@alexian
paste the repo url into to your F-Droid:

Midori and SmartCookieWeb both look very light. I wonder if there are Jelly-based or Jelly forks.
