By these measures of security, anti-fingerprinting, and privacy, both Bromite and Vanadium are far superior to Brave.

Bromite is available on F-Droid, and unfortunately Vanadium is only available on GrapheneOS unless you build it yourself.



Vanadium and Brave are only available on Android.

Vanadium doesn't really have any privacy features that people normally think of (anti-fp, adblocking etc), it's a series of security related patches https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium/tree/12.1/patches

Bromite does have some features like this https://github.com/bromite/bromite, but we've found in experience the adblocker, is not as comprehensive as uBO, particularly in harder blocking modes https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium...

That said for Android Firefox doesn't have the same process isolation like we see from chromium browsers.

I still wouldn't bother with Brave on mobile when you've got Bromite though.
