bromite VS ffupdater

Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

Normally, I'd recommend Bromite as a lightweight Chromium-based browser with built-in adblocking, but the project appears to be asleep right now. It might be worth checking it in a few weeks, though.

Bromite via either its site/Fdroid, GitHub or Woolyss site has a bottom bar available in accessibility settings. (The first one has been unmaintained for a while, but has auto updates available if they ever drop. The other two are up to date but must be updated manually.)

Bromite hasn't been updated since December: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases

FFUpdater (version 78.3.0): Updater for privacy friendly browsers

I've never tried Kiwi Browser but had similarly come across it while searching. The dev interestingly refers to them ads[1] (2022), though prior to being accepted properly into Bing's referral program Kiwi redirected all search queries through their own servers[2][3] (2021) (the original Kiwi repo's issues tab has been deleted since).

Tbf dev always sounds reasonable in their responses but was a little off-putting initially so I kinda understand the GP's post.

For "Chrome", you can use Kiwi Browser or Yandex Browser. Both are a bit controversial: https://github.com/Tobi823/ffupdater/issues/35 and the other one is Yandex Browser. But both support add-ons. You can use mobile Beta/Nightly Firefox/Fennec instead with custom addon collection like in this example: https://github.com/octonezd/oldlander#firefox

But there is FFUpdater which includes IceRaven.

on Android I saw Privacy Browser in FFUpdater

Actually there was a conflict between Fulguris and Styx. But It resolved nicely between two devs. The dev of Styx deleted the repo. After migrating to Fulguris base, Styx reappeared again. Probably that's why IzzyOnDroid showing this anti-feature.

Updating apps is a pita for me: Firefox has its own updater app: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater
