SmartCookieWeb VS UnifiedNlp

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.

SmartCookieWeb, a fork of Lightning. Maintained, nice ui, adblock, dark mode, lightweight. https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb

Use SmartCookieWeb - I personally found this very intuitave and easy to use, but if you know a better alternative, feel free to suggest it in the comments

I want to know if SmartCookieWeb is safe and if it is a good alternative to Chrome in terms of privacy

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)

SmartCookieWeb (version 15.0): A web browser with privacy on by default

Maybe try smartcookieweb

Hello, I'm trying to add microG to my OS by following the microG wiki (very well written!) However, I'm not able to add the additional patch(https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/master/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch) to make location work (mentioned here - https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation)

https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp - acts as a middle ware for multiple backends which have network location features.

MicroG has a list of NLP modules. Afaik it doesn't harm having several installed and working concurrently. The list here: https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp

Get UnifiedNLP - essentially does Locations services but not google

Another option would be to use an other location provider than google, like unifiedNLP.

I assume you are talking about microG. I have no personal experience with this because I've always just installed Gapps, but I wasn't under the impression UnifiedNLP or similar required microG. The installation instructions for UnifiedNLP just talk about downloading a couple APKs, and maybe installing as system apps (https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/HEAD/README.md). I do see that the app itself is made by the microG project, but it does make the claim (in several places I've found while searching) that "most" ROMs support it. What am I missing?

Here's a link to more location backends, you can rule out 4 or 5 since some are old and others are for China.
