I care about my privacy, though I like it’s UI. Is it really as bad as some say?

Ulaa Browser is pretty good on Android.
Vivaldi if you want a chromium privacy experience. Not fully open source but works well, has desktop sync and a good tablet UI which is my biggest reason for not using FF.
I only have a tablet and a phone and until FF creates a viable tablet UI I’m staying away.
Vivaldi is not a “privacy” experience. It sure has some comfy features, but Vivaldi is not private. Use it if you like it’s UI features, just know that it isn’t private.
F-Droid has a few choices in it’s repos. Privacy Browser, Mull, just to name a few.
What are the biggest showstoppers?

You could try to change the browser ID string that is sent with every request.
Also curious as someone who has been using it daily for years what they think a streamlined browser experience is
Chromite, this is sounder Fork and a new generation of bromite (like the most secure and private browser on android(excluding tor maybe))
Vivaldi?
This may not be helpful, but if you’re willing to flash GrapheneOS on a pixel, Vanadium is wonderful.
Vanadium has not that many features, no dark mode, no Adblocking
They used to recommend bromite, but since it’s not developed anymore they don’t
But there’s a promising fork of bromite called chromite, I tried it recently and it rocks
Huh? It has a dark mode in Settings->Theme.
As for ad-blocking, I have found that system-wide blocking works great as suggested in the docs https://grapheneos.org/faq#ad-blocking. YMMV…
Cromite indeed looks great.
It doesn’t have the dark mode, the one that makes white pages black
The DNS Adblocking fix is not really viable if you live nowhere near that server, otherwise it will make your experience miserable
