After about 8 months, I love this Android browser. Not Chrome, FF, or Edge based. (codeberg.org)

UPDATE: THIS USES GOOGLE WEB VIEW. DO NOT USE.

I can't figure out why nobody talks about this. I see all kinds of alternative browsers on here, but never this one. I especially like the color coded bookmarks for different categories (my news is gray, my searxng/swisscows and other search engines green, my tech solutions purple). It has anti-fingerprinting and a quick toggle for if you need to quickly adjust javascript or cookie setting to make a quick exception. There are lots of features. If anyone else has tried it, it would be interesting to hear your feedback too.

Agreed with the dislike of Brave; but my reasons of not using it are because the person(s) running that project have proven that they do not have user privacy as a priority over their own ability to stay profitable enough to operate. This lack of principal I feel makes Brave privacy hostile at random times when their company runs low on money and is vulnerable to making deals with the devils they're trying to keep at bay. Usually these deals are horrific blows to user privacy, or introduce unwanted and unneeded bloat to the software.
