Looking for Privacy-Oriented Open-Source Android Browsers

I’m looking for a privacy-focused, open-source Android browser. Here are some options I’ve found:

  • IronFox
    • recommended by LibreWolf
  • Fennec
    • no repo
  • Waterfox
  • Vanadium
  • iceraven
    • most stars
  • bromite
    • no longer maintained
    • Bromite has a fingerprint randomization and Vanadium doesn’t. But Vanadium has better security if you use Graphene. So yeah, for privacy Bromite might be better
  • cromite
    • Bromite fork
  • brave

Is there any other browser out there that fits this criteria? Is there an even better choice? I’m particularly interested in ones that focus on privacy.

EDIT:

  • in terms of popularity, privacy and functionality I guess the best choices are iceraven and cromite
    • iceraven based on firefox
    • cromitebased on chromium

few questions

  • What is the difference between IronFox, Fennec, Waterfox and iceraven?

    in fdroid it gives "The upstream source code is not entirely Free " in the description. Does this mean the project is somewhat semi-Open-Source?

    The upstream source code is not entirely Free

      It’s complicated but F-Droid flags software that may have parts in it that are not entirely free, fennec is a fork of Firefox and within the source code F-Droid is finding that there is something that isn’t totally foss. I suggest using obtainium ( look for it in F-Droid) and find the GitHub version of fennec.
