Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

    Unfortunately for Android, Chromium based browsers are, at the moment, significantly more secure than Firefox based ones.

    Edit: For the people down voting me, feel free to make a principled stand to avoid Chromium browsers on Android, just understand the risks. Again, specifically for Android. Here’s some reading:

      On Android, Firefox is still less secure than Chromium-based alternatives: Mozilla’s engine, GeckoView, has yet to support site isolation or enable isolatedProcess.

      Sadly it is still a problem. Fortunately there are some pretty good mobile browsers like Cromite available!

        RIP Bromite

        Mulch is pretty solid as well.
