Right now, my default is Cromite, and I occasionally use Brave as well. I have tried Firefox with uBO, but unfortunately it is slower than the aforementioned browsers and also lacks some features. I’ve also heard that Gecko-based browsers in general have a security issue on Android, but I don’t know the details. Which browser(s) do you use/recommend and why?

One question: ironfox doesn’t let me install any addons other than ublock origin, but on fennec I can install all the normal Firefox for android ones. Is that normal?

How do you install Ghostery and privacy badger? For me it just fails silently

Thanks. For me what happens is I can browse the add ons site, but when I press the add to firefox button, it fails silently: it looks like it starts to load a page and then does nothing.
I thought this might be normal behavior, but if it’s not I’ll try to figure it out.
Thanks.

Oh, man, I forgot I tried this and it failed so it was on the “to-do” list.
Thanks for the update w/ the super simple answer.
They should really add a description to the addons screen

Under Ironfox settings, enable the install extensions option. It blocks installing them by default in order to decrease attack surface. You will be able after that.
It’s like people driving fast, risking lives for what, 5min at the end of the day? Pointless metrics from r brainless users. Render fast, think slow.

Indeed, bet it’s a trick from Google to promote its browser but pushing whatever rsukts it wanted to better SEO, i.e classical monopoly trick of leveraging one domination to force another onto captive users/consumers.
Not to be overly pedantic but Java != JavaScript
