I main Firefox but, want a Chromium browser for Android/Windows that I can use occasionally.

What are your preferred choices?

Edit: okay I tested out a lot of your suggestions and found Vivaldi to by my favourite so far :) thanks y’all

Android: Bromite PC: Brave

Hahaha everyone hating Vanadium. I also dont see its value, its standard and not private, doesnt even delete cookies. Use it for sites where Firefox breaks, again.

Use Cromite on mobile. It’s a continuation of Bromite which has been maintained by one of the devs since bromite quit being updated a year or so ago. Previously it was called bromite-buildtools, but they just recently got a new name and logo.

Brave, definitely.

Brave for Chromium and Librewolf for Mozilla.

If we all stop using firefox, then chromium has a complete monopoly. That’s dangerous with something as important as a web browser. Lets not forget that Chromium is sponsored/maintsined by Google.

I have no intention of stopping my Firefox use. I just want an occasional Chromium browser

chromium, or maybe brave on old phones

I use Samsung browser for voyager and the occasional incompatible website. It has strict tracking protection and adblocking too

Ungoogled Chromium and Vivaldi are my favorites

For a chromium based browser I would pick brave, especially on Android I find that brave works very well.

Vivaldi is awesome on Windows/Linux and peerless on Android.

Not really a factor but rather a fun fact - I recently discovered they have a Mastodon instance, which can be of interest to lemmies.

Vivaldi has a bunch of stuff I like - tab stacking, tiling, a functional sidebar that is actually useful, and full-on UI customization.

Vivaldi has a special place in my heart since it’s made by the original Opera people.

Brave is hands down the best chromium based browser for privacy. They do a lot under the hood to block trackers and ads. I would do a little more research into ungoogled chromium. Imo it’s better to have a whole community and company backing a browser like Brave rather than a few developers basically patching source code and shipping it.

Brave, period.

My go-to daily driver on my Pixel 7 is the Kiwi Browser, but I use Mull for variety sometimes.

If you want something a little different, try arc it doesn’t behave like pretty much any browser I’ve used but it’s certainly a unique take on it

What does arc do different? It’s been very hyped up but I don’t see what it does that vivaldi already does not

It is very different:

  • Tabs are always vertical which is better for todays ultrawide monitors
  • You have the ability to pin tabs to the sidebar which means that whenever you’re on a particular site (not page!) they’re stored in the same place
  • Other tabs are ephemeral, they’re open for at most the 24 hours from when you use them, then they get cleaned away
  • There are separate workspaces; like swappable sidebars that you can use to - for example - keep work and personal tabs separate
  • The vast majority of commands (going to a tab, getting to settings plus loads more) are access via a Stoplight like global search control
  • You can “boost” a particular site and change its style sheet to be different colours - this can be handy if you’re a developer and need to be extra careful when working in a production environment.

That’s just the stuff off the top of my head, there is probably more.

I’m not sure what you mean by “boosting” a site, but vivaldi does have everything besides pinning sites.

So I guess arc is a nice browser but not particularly new.

While ARC is interesting it is available for neither Android or Windows, which was OPs requirements.

Sorry, missed the Android requirement.

It has just been released for windows though
