Hey everybody. I'm somewhat new to the field of privacy, but I am eager to learn. Right now I am wondering what mobile web browser to use for everyday activities. I'm running GrapheneOS. Options that often come to mind:

Tor
Firefox Focus (= Firefox Klar in German)
IronFox (formerly Mull Browser)
Cromite
Vanadium

I feel like I simply don't know enough about the underlaying mechanisms to elaborate which might be better and which might be worse. Feel free to teach me!

i'd just use ironfox with ublock origin

Considering that already. Do you experience any problems or limitations with that? Like being flagged as a bot, or sites returning errors?

Edit: thank you for the suggestion!

Rarely. I would say that about 19/20 pages work as expected. I do keep a manually hardened Firefox install on my device for the rare site that I do want to visit but that doesn't load in IronFox for some reason. In my experience, VPN breaks the internet more than IronFox does. And I still want to use VPN.

i haven't really used ironfox, i use iceraven. i actually also use numatrix alongside ublock origin.

i do see more captchas compared to common browsers like google chrome.
