Good web browser that's shipped by default with GrapheneOS. It's a privacy-focused version of Chromium, so it's lightweight, fast, and regularly updated.
Use it on my GrapheneOS device in combination with firefox.
It came with GrapheneOS. Have not yet found a reason to install another browser for the few times I need a Chromium-based.
Just a better default Chrome app. It's a also seriously well maintained and hardened compared to even the default chrome despite G merits.
Vanadium is a very secure Webview and Browser, focused on Security. It is a hardened Version of Chromium and also provides the WebView used by apps for displaying web content. Vanadium "just works" for most sites, so while it is currently not the most privacy focused, it is a good addition to Ironfox. It can be updated seperately via the Appstore. Use Cromite on other Androids as Vanadium might cause bugs that are not fixed outside of GrapheneOS.
