What entities are you referring to when you say chrome in disguise
Almost all browsers that aren't based on Firefox are based on Chromium now. Google controls the browser engine of almost all used browsers which puts web standards into the hands of Google.

Yes, it is.
I mean chromium is still open source
Sure, it's open source, but they do only the minimum, i.e. release the code. It's not really an open project though, meaning that the community can't influence where that project goes. Android project works the same way
Oh ok
Yes, but that does not solve the problem of Google being in charge of the development.
Has anyone looked into what Qwant browser is using?
Will it be available on F-Droid?
Yes, but F-Droid needs relatively long to release updates. You can use Tor's on repository for F-Droid to get it faster, but that requires a reinstall because Tor's builds are signed by Tor and not F-Droid.
Thanks for the info!
Is this worth using? Does it protect your privacy? I'm sure I read somewhere it didn't perform well on mobile...
It's not as strong as on desktop, but still the strongest protection for your privacy in a browser on Android.
I got the update and can’t download any files
Bruuh ,this new update has literally make tor browser like firefox android.
P.s. i actually liked the old design.
Well, it is based in Firefox.
Ok ,but that old design gave the feeling that we were using a different browser.

Me, too! I've been trying for hours. Anyone find a solution?
Set the security level to safest. about: config is disabled in the stable build of Firefox for Android and Tor for whatever reason decided to keep this. I agree it's stupid.

I tried this on my Tor browser for android. Still getting a message from a dnm that I have to turn off java script.
Have you modified the configuration of NoScript in any way?

The new design is so beautiful
