Last I heard it was Bromite, but I tried to install and it's malware just like Brave. Bromite asks for permission to:
>change your audio settings
>control near field communications
>run at startup
>view network connections
>view Wi-Fi connections
>take pictures and videos
>record audio
>and many more
What is the Jow Forums approved Android web browser? Malware browsers (i.e. Brave, Bromite, etc.) and shill browsers (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, etc.) need not apply.
What Android browser does Jow Forums use?

I use Brave. I want to use Firefox (and alternative versions like Preview and that one from F-Droid) but browsing is slow as hell. Brave lacks customization but for a mobile browser I'm okay with it.
Austin Thomas
for me, it's Samsung Internet
Asher Morris
Kiwi. Gets the job done until Firefox gets better.
Brayden Fisher
Kiwi is the best browser for android, chromium without botnet and has extension support.
Keep a look on the new firefox for android though
Eli Davis
>Extension support.
I use it and didn't even know this, thank you.
Evan Green
It's not actually open source kek
Try going to the xda thread then ask 'bruh where's the source of the compiled browser' and the devs will chimp out followed by mods deleting your post
Daniel Cook
kek what is this garbage? It isn't on F-Droid, of course it's malware. Privacy Browser is the most private browser FYI. It's so private that you can't even find it by looking it up (because both are common words and too much comes up). It's on F-Droid and it requires basically no permissions and has all the features you need. Privacy Browser is the official Jow Forums browser.

What's wrong with FF on Android?
Daniel Rivera
>g-guise trust me, there's a reason why Bromite needs permission to record video and take pictures and record audio and run on startup
>you're basically stupid if you don't accept these claims that I bring forth without a shred of evidence to back them up
And yet, Privacy Browser only needs permissions to Internet and SD card, and it does everything Bromite can. What could this mean?
Blake Lewis
The same thing that's wrong with FF everywhere? It's spyware.
Charles Sullivan
Personal preference really, easy of use of chrome browsers is just more natural to me.

Chromium is the only browser type that properly integrates with Android security

Samsung internet is hella fast. However it gets fucky with literally every password manager out there that is not samsung pass. And samsung pass only works on samsung shit, not PC. The browser does however sync with firefox shit so it allows me to avoid installing the inferior android version of that.
Logan James
what the fresh hell does this even mean, you shameless poogler
Justin Bailey
I have given up trying to fight the botnet and so i switched back to chrome
Then later when i get fed up with google again i will change to a browser that respects my freedom, until i the circle repeats and i go back once again to chrome
Such is life

It's just a clone off the Chromium repo, patches are proprietary.

Obviously Privacy Browser just doesn't allow websites to use those hardware devices or doesn't support them
A featured web browser will discover these capabilities on startup to expose them to websites when needed. If you don't want them just disable them
Austin Perry
Are you goddam summerfargs seriously using stock Android? No wonder you don't know shit about what's going on in your device. An you clearly didn't read the install page either kek. How useless can you be?
It needs access to your Near Field Communication to 'expose it to gentle websites if they request it with merely gentle purposes', as the other shill said. Try defending that one.

I dont know what you meant by calling icecat mobile an apk tracker. could you please elaborate?
Angel Edwards
It doesn't matter what he said. IceCat mobile is also spyware; it requires many permissions it shouldn't. There's nothing like Privacy Browser, really.
Hudson Wilson
Which permissions are you referring to? they look normal to me. I haven't been asked to allow any besides Camera and Storage yet, both at times where it would have needed to use that permission to do what I wanted it to. I don't believe it is malicious, personally. if you'd like to review the source code to prove me wrong, feel free, but without reason to believe otherwise, I trust the guys (and gals if there are any). I will give Privacy Browser a try though, since you mentioned it. I think I've heard someone on youtube talk about it before. Thanks for the suggestion.
Jonathan Brown
Why are you even thinking about the source code if you didn't even read the installation notes? You must be another of those idiots with stock roms that just click yes on anything.
Juan James

This is how non-botnet permissions look like.
Ryder Reed
Those are declared permissions. Just because it's declared doesn't mean it can use it. You still have to grant acess to them at runtime.
Anthony Ward
Get ClassyShark3xodus and scan it. It has the Mozilla apk telemetry hardcoded in, like all Firefox forks.
Bentley Johnson
Thanks for calling me an idiot, but no, I use lineageOS. Yes, I read those already. The top three looked malicious at first, but with some internet searching, this is the preferred way for apps to handle accounts. From my understanding it cannot use them without explicit permission from the user when it tries. The only ones I see that look sketchy are the starting at startup one, and the connect and disconnect from wifi one. the latter of the two can't really be abused unless you're really trying, but it's odd to see.
Luis Evans
Anything and everything on a phone is botnet, not to mention worthless garbage that wastes your time. This includes browsers. A phone is a device for sending text messages to normies, nothing more.
Sebastian Sullivan
Not all of those require asking the user, but some do, yeah.
ah, man. that sucks. I guess I'll use privacy browser then, thanks.
Carson Perez
Sure thing buddy.
>10 seconds before you turn on the phone
>"sir, I know your phone is turned off, but it's me, your phone, and I'm asking you for permission to run X on startup"
>no way phone!
>"aye thanks sir"
>turns on phone
>X didn't run on startup
Does this scenario look like it would work according to the model you described? Why are you so dumb man?
Ian Jackson
user I get your point however I can't bring my desktop with me on vacation and I don't feel that buying a laptop to use just for cases like this is justified for myself. For other people, sure.
Carter James
fennec/firefox for complete ublock support.
Jeremiah Ortiz
try naked browser, works pretty nice
Jordan Jenkins
forgot it also supports hosts file content blocking
Joshua Fisher
Fennec F-droid
Julian Gonzalez
Yuzu is the most convenient once you set it up. Don't give a shit about security but it can use Bromite Webview.
Alexander Gonzalez
Here's my setup.
Jason Perez
Bromite & Kiwi & Firefox
Owen Ortiz
Bromite and any other good apps isn't also on F-Droid per its shitty policy
Nolan Howard
Fennec, it is a fine browser.
Jordan Thomas
Icecat with uBlock extension.
Samuel James
Fennec FDroid (Firefox)
Install uBO, disable 3rd party js.
