no baked-in trackers/analytics, No VC backing, Big Tech parent, or crypto schemes. aggressive ad/tracker blocking, fingerprinting resistance, working YouTube ad blocking, extension support, smooth Android + Linux use.

What's your daily driver under these constraints, and what tradeoff did you accept?

Firefox has much worse sandboxing than Chromium on Android.

That's just not true. Fission is now available on Android.

Firefox's sandboxing on Android is still unstable and missing some layers Chromium has. The gap is definitely narrowing though. As of now, Chromium is still the way to go for security, especially Vanadium with the GrapheneOS hardening.

Vanadium heavily relies on GrapheneOS system hardening, so it's more secure than any browser.
