Android Not Chrome would always make my entire phone freeze, apparently many people have that issue. I haven't had that problem with Android Chinese Chrome so far.
But Not Chrome is still the best by far on computer of course.
I love Android Not Chrome. You can install uBlock Origin on it, which kicks ass
Apparently there are pretty big security problems with it?
I just learned this like last week, but haven't had the will to leave.
what security issues? genuinely curious, I no longer use it but havent heard anything particularly out of ordinary
I know it used to have a certain reputation/one specific issue but that's been fixed for years
Per site isolation

yeah but if you do some googling, it seems they actually did add such isolation in the past couple years. Though from what I read, the isolation still isnt as good as chromium's, its not fair to say they don't have it
Yes I use it on my tablet and it works great, but it breaks my phone for some reason.
I had times where the android Not Chrome would freeze on my phone. I turned off an extension that adds a panel for more buttons and the freezes disappeared. Idk if this will be relevant to your problem since it's your whole phone that froze but maybe you're using some problematic extensions or you may have had some settings that caused it.
Yeah I can try that. Hopefully it's not uBlock thats causing the freezing because I can browse without an adblocker.
