People in the comments already have "Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they’re currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android."

I mean Gecko based browsers are actively recommended against on mobile. Chromium based browsers are recommended. Also I use mullvadVPN DNS based ad blocking, and I also have Brave that has built in ad blocking. Do yourself a favor and ditch adblock in favor of Ublock origin

Firefox is not secure on mobile, Vanadium is a great browser made by the GrapheneOS devs

Ofc, I always have killswitch on my VPN, using alternatives didn't cross my mind so thanks, I'll also keep the client in mind

Ah I just now realized, my mistake dude, my brain is fried from my mental state. It seems I was the delusional one all along

The browser itself is open source https://github.com/brave/brave-browser. The rewards and VPN are not (it seems rewards is open source on IOS)

Cromite, but I have switched to brave since, it has better fingerprinting protection, more updates, better security and better sandboxing and isolation. At least that's what Deepseek R1 with websearch has to say

I use Molly with Orbit proxy, so I feel Signal is the next best thing after SimpleX

Yeah I would rather just nudge them towards Signal, I very much dislike telegram and have recently retired it

Alright, in the future I will likely run an Android VM with WhatsApp using a physical SIM bought with cash or a virtual SIM bought with monero
