12 Secure Browsers That Protect Your Privacy in 2023
been using Brave on mobile for years...10/10 would recommend

@opie i have Brave on mobile also it is a good browser
i just prefer Firefox focus for speed at opening articles after tapping URLs from other apps it's lightning fast because it's bare bones with no real "elements" to load in background - it inly jas the page from the URL to load
i also have Firefox original as well a chrome on same device - chrome & Firefox focus on chromebook are my two best when on stable channel ChromeOS
(just started using Mullvad VPN myself tonight standalone apps)
never tried it but Norton anything hmmmmm

@Airborne_Frog i do use brave myself as well a Firefox focus & Firefox - Firefox focus is fast striped of almost all annoying features and focuses on security & privacy good for SM URL taps after reading close it wipes all data/ cookies etc..... great app imo
chrome also cause i can quickly push stuff directly to my Chromebook chrome browser which is handy as well as saving "read later' articles from Android chrome syncs to my "read later' ChromeOS in on tap
@Airborne_Frog @opie
each browser has it's own use case imo
I've never stuck to one browser for all
