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!

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.
