As per title, Help me choose a browser for android I have non rooted device. After all the researches I found best for me would be 1: Mull but with Some way for knowing which site have saved any data on my device (Maybe by extension or some defined page like about:config type) But as per my research I do not found any such thing. 2:Cromite or like it but with extension support like kiwi. 3:Privacy browser but just give assurance that google will not track me (as I have nonrooted device I have default webview).

I dont think that Vivaldi,Opera or brave stand anywhere when it is about privacy.

Help/advice/correct me!

Fennec (Firefox based), with Ghostery and uBlock origin installed.

You'll have to set add-ons up as a private collection for them to work, but it's easy as pie.

    Interesting, I'll look deeper into that. They have an adblocking engine as well though and catch a few random ones uBlock doesn't, so I'm not totally convinced they are fully redundant.

    You can add lists in ublock..

    Yes, and I do, and yet there are still some escapees. Might be a fringe case as I live in Asia, but at least for me it serves a purpose.

    Find the escapees, put them on the list or find a list including them for your particular use-case.
    I dont have much things getting through, mostly small sites displaying things, so i just add a filter myself.

    Afaik Ghostery was bought and started tracking its users.. or was that another popular extension? Happened to alot of these.. pretty sure it was Ghostery?

    I think you might try to bite off more than you can chew here. You keep insisting that you want to somehow see the data that's saved on your device. Why exactly do you want to inspect the local cache of those sites? What do you expect the benefit to be? And what's more: what do you expect such a local cache to look like?

    I just want to know which site I am logged in and to remove those data in order to logout

    Like on desktop I remove all data from settings of firefox from sites I am not using. Hope I a clear to you

    Btw I want to have clear look that data just as on desktop but as addons will provide that data I think It is going to look bad But thats okay

    Yeah, okay. So: Clearing Browser cache is a common feature in any webbrowser (even Chrome, and if Chrome has it, everyone has)

    Regarding insights into the local cache: Are you technically versed enough to understand what you are seeing? If not, what good would looking at the cache do to you? I mean, whatever is in that cache is no indication about your privacy at all. As @minitycactus found out, Wikipedia logs your last visit. Do they spy on you? Very probably not. Besides, whatever they put into local cache is not something they have on their servers,

    I wouldn't put too much energy into a search for that specific feature.

    I use Firefox focus for random browsing, normal Firefox for general browsing that I want to keep the history of, and Mull for anything where I want to absolutely minimize tracking / enhance privacy.

    Not a complete answer, but I stand behind Privacy Browser. The dev has a great blog explaining how the browser works:

    https://www.stoutner.com/webview/

    https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-android/core-privacy-principles/

    https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-android/permissions/

    I appreciate the transparency of the Dev and I am looking forward to the long-teased 4.x series that will ship with its own webview.

    If you decide not to use it, keep it on your watchlist.

    I would say go with either chromite or firefox. Both are private, supported for now, and can block ads (UBO on firefox)
