F-droid is very safe, just make sure to use trusted repositories because apps have to be accepted before they even get to F-droid that way. They have a list of trusted repositories found on GitLab.

here is a list of most known Repositories

I personally use Fennec FDroid. Its Firefox Nightly with removed telemetry, as far as I understood. - In this post you can find an explanation on how to get important desktop addons (NoScript, Ninja Cookie, CanvasBlocker, ...) to your android Firefox browser with a little hack. - You can also harden mobile Firefox through the about:config. There will come a dedicated post to the available options, but Mozillas Site already provides a good list of settings (not all are there on mobile). - I highly recommend privacy.firstparty.isolate = true, as its the exchange for container addons (isolates every site making them obsolete)

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
