Hello everyone, I’m in search of a new Android browser. Currently, I’m using Via browser, which is lightweight and functions well with essential features. However, the only thing it lacks is a tracker library blocker. I’m contemplating switching to Mozilla Fennec, which does have a library blocker, but I’d prefer something as minimalistic as Via, which I believe is only around 2 MB in size

Yeah, so if it’s truly the download or install size you care about, then Via is a good choice in that regard (I know nothing else about it).
But in terms of program complexity and runtime resource usage, it is basically Google Chrome with a different UI.
