    realistically, it’s not like they will replace them with anything else. Chrome just doesn’t have any actual competitors on android yet. Every promising alternative is more or less just a webview wrapper. Maybe one day we might see servo based browser for android take off. It does actually perform quite well on android for what it is currently.

        Personally I use cromite since it integrated ABP with ublock filters so it is fine. If you do want a chromium based browser there are multiple out there. I know a good chunk of people uses misses browser, which while it does look scammy on the webpage, it is open source.

      I’ve used firefox on android for years now. The only time I do anything in Chrome is when I need to translate pages easily (Japanese translation only recently hit desktop version and it’s very poor quality and google lens is inconvenient).

        Are there any of them that are actually any decent however? Firefox mobile is fairly slow and a battery hog compared to chromium based browsers.
