🌐 Still using Chrome in 2026?

Chrome sees EVERYTHING: Every search. Every site. Every click. All sent to Google 24/7. 📡

I tested 4 browsers so you don’t have to:

🔴 Chrome — tracks everything. Avoid. 🟡 Vivaldi — better, but not fully open 🟢 Cromite — FOSS, de-Googled Chrome 🦊 IronFox — the privacy king. My daily.

Which one are YOU using?

    Have you seen the better browsing experience? It’s on Zen. It’s literally on Librewolf. It’s on Floorp without ads. It’s literally on Waterfox. You can probably find it on Ironfox. Dude it’s on Ladybird. It’s a Servo original. It’s on GNOME Web. You can browse on GNOME Web. You can go to GNOME Web and browse it. Epiphany has it for you. </joke>

      I respect your opinion very much… but there is nothing better than Ironfox in terms of privacy and tracking… It is available on fdroid and its official website and is completely open source… Unlike Zen and Waterfox, it is not very strong in privacy. As for browsers like gnome web, it uses a different engine, which is webkitgtk, and it is very weak in extensions…

      This is wonderful🤝🤝. Yes, it is the best browser in terms of privacy and security on Android ever.

    I can’t find either Cromite or Ironfox on F-Droid…what am I missing ?

      IronFox solves this in two ways… It makes your fingerprint the same for all IronFox users, not unique and it prevents fingerprinting scripts from running at all before your fingerprint is read

    Went back and forth between the following:

    Vanadium - secure Chromium browser installed by default on GrapheneOS, Bromite/Cromite - alternative secure/private Chromium browser, Quetta Browser - private Chromium browser that comes with an AI-based ad blocker and extension support, IronFox - private Gecko browser that is as hardened as LibreWolf or Mull Browser.

    Right now, I’m daily driving Cromite and IronFox, the former now having extension support via Developer Options, which allowed me to enable and install extensions like uBlock Origin Lite and “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies”.

        I dunno, maybe you’re a person, but the way your post is written, and the theme of the screenshot, screams AI.

      Brother, I am just sharing the importance of the Ironfox browser compared to any browser on Android. And I am not a bot.

        I’d argue chromium based browsers are significantly better than gecko simply for security. Obviously Chrome is bad, but Vanadium and other such browsers are significantly better than any firefox remixes.

        As for my claim that you’re a bot, see my earlier reply, and you’re brand new.

          Yes brother, I am new to this server. I apologize, I don’t know that I shouldn’t publish an image I created from ai…but I wrote that introduction myself.

            Ok, I see you are in fact not a bot. My mistake. In future I’ll avoid jumping to such sudden conclusions. I hope you enjoy your stay on Lemmy!

            As for the AI image… Yeah, you should probably avoid those here. Some communities are more welcoming than others, but generally AI is quite disliked in the privacy community. It also makes you look very bot-like when you use one as your first ever post.

          This is absolutely true…the browser built on Chromium is always the best on Android…

            If Chromium is the best browser for android, why are you calling IronFox “the privacy king”?

              I meant Chromium in terms of performance and speed, not privacy. IronFox is the strongest in anti-tracking and privacy of any Chromium browser — except Vanadium on GrapheneOS, which is an exception because it is very specifically stringent, but is only available on GrapheneOS.
