Looking for a browser that...
You could also try Smart Cookie Web: https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb. It uses Android Webview, but from what I remember, it has a setting to hide the status bar.

Browser that doesn't discard tab
It seems that chromium based browsers used to have this option. However, it has been removed some time ago. Currently, I'm using brave, and looking at the best option I could find: Smart Cookie Web browser, however the app is currently not in active development ("on hold"), and there are some key features that are missing: - Keyboard shortcut: ctrl + number to switch tab is not implemented, and also middle click to open link as new tab (kind of a deal breaker)
- Searching for a lite browser which will delete everything it stored everytime I exit it.

48,000 companies sent Facebook data on a single person
Same here.
In addition, to prevent shadow profiles, I've blocked them on NextDNS, setup NetGuard[0] and Firefox with uBlock Origin on Android.

Having trouble blocking domains on netguard
Currently using the default netguard hosts file to block domains. The downlaod url is https://www.netguard.me/hosts and It just downloads the default stevenblack host file. But I want to block more stuff that the default does not block so I looked at Stevenblack github. The problem is that when I put in the hosts file download url, the domains do not get blocked. Such as if I use the fake news host then go to a fake news domain, fake news is still showing. Same thing when I download the hosts file then import it. Is there a fix for this in the app so I can block these domains?
- Block app from using data?
- Netguard or DuckDuckGo app protection? Can't both be on.
