Is firefox for android safe?

question

and either way, what's the best mobile browser?

I heard concerns, that firefox' mobile browsers don't have any/ good enough sandboxing and therefore pose a security risk and shouldn't be used. was and more importantly, is this still the case or relevant? if so, what alternative browser is the best. if not, which iteration of the firefox browser should i use?

if there are any not too high level resources on the topic, i would appreciate a link

also pls excuse my bad english ;)

LibreWolf is only for PC, and is the best security FOSS browser (firefox stable based but debloat and optimized for security)

Check librewolf features

Its great! If you want use as your personal browser maybe need add cookies exception on your pages, or using some extensuon like cookies autodelete and disable the defaults methods (you need read and be easy of configure)

And for android Mull, is not strict like librewolf but is a the good privacy option for Android

Icewolf?? Or Icereavean? is only for android, and isnt a privacy browser, they adverts it in the documentation

I recently tested Brave and Mull at cover your tracks. I was surprised at the results which shows Brave has no fingerprint protection and Mull does. Before this week the test always showed the opposite.
