SmartCookieWeb VS chromium-web-store

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

Ungoogled Chromium (Mac & Linux), much more performant than Firefox; use Chromium Web Store to maintain extensions (ungoogled means ungoogled, no normal Chrome Web Store), and xBrowserSync for bookmarks. I really wish I could just use Safari on Mac though, all I want is bookmark sync (and more/better extensions, but bookmark sync).

And if you want to use extensions from the Web Store: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

ungoogled-chromium with chromium-web-store

Are there any chromium browsers on Android with addons? I'm not aware of any, so I primarily use Iceraven. On desktop I do have chromium with some addons, but the safest source is the Google web store. If you're using fully ungoogled chromium then you'll first need a custom extension to get access to the web store. You can get that here: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

Install some of these extensions using by manually going through the Chromium web store (from github): uBlock Origin Privacy Badger by EFF Trace - Online Tracking Protection Fast Forward Disconnect Decentraleyes Smart referer (link, and I believe it is firefox only?)

If you have to use it anyway, atleast use some popular open source tools like this. https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store or use this guide https://avoidthehack.com/manually-install-extensions-ungoogled-chromium.

there's an extension for Ungoogled which is used to auto update extensions called "Chromium webstore" on github here.

as an alternative to the already mentioned options there is also ungoogled-chromium on flathub. Flatpak should already be preinstalled on Fedora (was there for me on 36 fresh install). Note that you will need to sideload chromium-web-store to get access to the Chrome extensions store. There is also a workaround for dark mode in the readme on the github repo for the flatpak.
