You mean the post about the brave search engine?
Yes, exactly my point. That's only about the search engine not the browser.
I can't find librewolf on the play store so I went with vivaldi
Doesn't playstore defeat the purpose.
Using that logic I might as well ditch my android phone and go back to using a Nokia 3310
You can degoogle android.
Sure but I'd rather not go through that trouble. I know it's short sighted to choose convenience over privacy but Google has all my data anyways, regardless of what I do.
mull is essentially the same as librewolf. It isn't available on the play store though.
What are the benefits of Vivaldi over Firefox? Any downsides?
I use Vivaldi on desktop, but due to having problems with Firefox for Android I switched to Kiwi on mobile as it has basically full extension support. It's Chromium, and I'm not sure if it's maintained well or what, but I haven't had any problems with it, whereas Firefox would just stop loading pages after a bit and it didn't get fixed for a year or so and I got fed up.
android have vivaldi?
got a link?
Any advice.on loading Librewolf to an Android phone?
What made you choose Librewolf? I've been planning on switching from Edge to Firefox but I'm open to derivatives.
