Honestly the lack of ad blockers in Vanadium pushes me towards Firefox even though the devs say that Firefox is far less secure. So many web sites are just hard to use on mobile without an ad blocker so I’m curious what the rest of you are doing.

    I use Firefox for most trusted browsing, largely due to its bookmark sync and extension support. It has also been my desktop browser of choice for decades. I always browse in private mode on mobile, and with strict protection enabled (no 3PC), so essentially no cookie or data retention once the app is closed. FF sync for bookmarks only, no search suggestions, autocomplete, etc., except for search bookmarks. DDG as default engine.

    Passwords are managed with KeePass autofill, and synced to many other devices via Syncthing.

    I love that Vanadium is the default WebView browser though, due to its support for site isolation and other hardened features.

    Fingerprinting is still virtually impossible to prevent until/unless the overall web browser model changes.
