no baked-in trackers/analytics, No VC backing, Big Tech parent, or crypto schemes. aggressive ad/tracker blocking, fingerprinting resistance, working YouTube ad blocking, extension support, smooth Android + Linux use.

What's your daily driver under these constraints, and what tradeoff did you accept?

Linux: LibreWolf, no tradeoffs.
Android: IronFox, no tradeoffs.

Vanadium for GrapheneOS or Titanium for other Android is an alternative to IronFox if you're okay with trading anti-fingerprinting for security. Firefox has much worse sandboxing than Chromium on Android. Vanadium also integrates with the OS for even more added security.

Obviously not what OP asked for but it should be noted for anyone else who's looking for an Android browser.

That's just not true. Fission is now available on Android.

Firefox's sandboxing on Android is still unstable and missing some layers Chromium has. The gap is definitely narrowing though. As of now, Chromium is still the way to go for security, especially Vanadium with the GrapheneOS hardening.

Vanadium heavily relies on GrapheneOS system hardening, so it's more secure than any browser.
