I've been using Brave for Android for a while, and until recently it worked great.
But now I have image issues on sites like Jow Forums, ads that are half-blocked and YouTube sound that's a bit fucked up.
What Android browser do you recommend?
My criteria:
- Adblocker
- Respects my rights and privacy (as much as possible)
Is Waterfox worth anything?
Other urls found in this thread:
f-droid.org
twitter.com
Just use Clover and the YouTube app.
>requiring a built-in adblocker when you can simply block host files
SHIGGY DIGGY DOO
Sage goes in every field.
>YouTube app
Has ads on it that supports YouTube. I refuse.
I still need a new browser nonetheless. What do you personally use?
The stock Samsung one lol
>The stock Samsung one lol
So Chromium botnet + Samsung botnet.
Pretty cringe of you.
>YouTube app
You mean YouTubevanced
Firefox or any meme derivatives because of the addon support
>Firefox or any meme derivatives
Native Firefox doesn't support my rights and privacy. Have you tried any fork on Android?
>image issues on sites like Jow Forums
deactivate some of the blockers for Jow Forums, should work fine again.
>YouTube sound that's a bit fucked up.
haven't noticed any of the sort.
No but why shouldn't it support your rights? You can turn off any telemetry and data sharing in the settings, at least the last time I've checked
You use Brave too? Maybe it's only my device then. I indeed deactivated the blockers and it worked, but I have this weird bad sound and image quality in youtube.com through Brave, no idea why.
Also, for a while, all images that are blocked by Brave adblocker appear as a "failed to load" image instead of just removing it.
Opera Mini
>sage in all fields
then why is your name still anonymous?
It works and I don't particularly have a reason to switch to anything else
Why the fuck are you on Jow Forums.
Samsung Internet is actually great
Well, it's basically Chrome and another layer by Samsung so they can spy on you too.
If you don't care about your rights and privacy, Chrome _is_ a great browser.
App/etc. elitism is the dumbest part of Jow Forums, I don't care for it at all
I use Waterfox. It's okay, wish there was a better browser with extension support though.
Op here.
I just installed Waterfox, it works just fine for now.
Jow Forums is fine, YouTube is fine, Adblocker is fine.
I miss the "drag down for refresh" and "full screen videos will automatically take the whole screen instead of staying a square at the center" but I'll manage.
Seems a tad less smooth though.
use clover
use hooktube
Yup, drag down to referesh not being there sucks. Sometimes videos don't always load for me. But it's fine until a better alternative comes around.
i tried using firefox on my phone but it doesnt let me drag down to refresh which is really fucking shit
Use Brave then.

Use newpipe

I personally use fennec and Firefox klar (both from fdroid). Klar is set as my default and 99% of the time I use it. If there is an article or site I want to save for later then I'll send it to fennec.
Bromite on xda

>builtin adblocker
Literally trash
When the f did falkon make a mobike app? Or you just shilling this everywhere in poor English?
Fennec F-Droid
your post is fucking dumb and on top of it you ignore or disregard the replies that actually suggest better alternatives

>blocking hosts files on android
who said he's rooted? that's even on topic with his question. Get the fuck out of here loser
Stop being a poorfag and buy a Korean device with Adhell and SABS.
Puffin still scores highest in benchmarks

>Brave
Dodgy Chrome skin. I would not trust it at all.
>What do you recommend?
SJWFox at least has decent plugin support that runs what's basically the desktop version add-ons, so you can have shit like uBlock and noscript. Relatively open.
>Is Waterfox worth anything?
On PC? Yes. On Android? Fuck no. It is so behind and unreliable that its not funny. It's about the same level of functionality and performance that I associate with the AOSP or Samsung browsers
DESU one thing iOS does right is easy adblocking on their main browser.
To block ads on Safari, which is super fast, you just need to download ABP and enable it on the settings.
With Chrome on Android there is no easy way at all. And using a slower browser like FF is not a good solution.
How is it slower?I switched to FF ages ago and never noticed a performance hit, although I have a Snapdragon 835.
Lighting Browser on F-Droid

Firefox focus/Brave + DNS66 (F-Droid) + Quad9 DNS server (9.9.9.9)
You're a child my dude.
Free Adblock Browser has worked for me but it's Chromium so dont use it if you're worried about your personal info/3rd parties. The adblock is perfect though.
Firefox + Ublock Origin = God-tier browsing experience on Android
>But now I have image issues on sites like Jow Forums, ads that are half-blocked and YouTube sound that's a bit fucked up.
What image issues? Why have you not explained this? If you've blocked scripts, no wonder some part of entire websites break.
>brave
it's great but why I can't open images at Jow Forums
clover for Jow Forums
newpipe for youtube
if you still absolutely need a new browser: firefox + ublock origin
Here is all you need
Firefox
Use Newpipe instead of YouTube app.
Lightning and NewPipe
Bromite
kiwi
omnichan
wew Jow Forums surely went to shit
Firefox + uBlock Origin + HTTPS Everywhere + NoScript
Make sure to opt out of all the tracking bullshit in settings.
Also use the dev version of Clover for Jow Forums
It's definitely the most powerful browser for Android. The Chrome based ones only have an advantage in battery life and scrolling imo.
>Native Firefox doesn't support my rights and privacy
Yes it does.
I use an Alcatel super shit phone so its gotta be the naked browser for me, cant have anything larger
