I’ve got 4 privacy and security enhanced browsers on my mobile. Vanadium and Chromite are based on Chrome, Fennec and Mull are based on Firefox. All have ad blocking. If you want ad blocking in a Chrome based mobile browser, that’s available, you just can’t get it directly from Google is all.
Fennec and Mull have the same extensions as Firefox Mobile, and they have about:config. These apps are versions of Firefox Mobile, modified to prioritize the needs of power users over the needs of corporations, so of course they are fully configurable.
Instead of 🙏🏿ing the Mozilla corporation, just install Fennec! (Or Mull if you want extra privacy hardening beyond what Fennec does.)
I install most of my mobile browsers from the F-Droid app store (not Vanadium). I recommend F-Droid because all of the apps are vetted to ensure that they meet the F-Droid standards of prioritizing the needs of users over the needs of corporations. All the apps are free/open source, there’s generally no telemetry, in app advertising, or other “anti-features”. Some anti-features are allowed but you see a warning before you download. In the case of Fennec, F-Droid warns me that although telemetry is removed, Fennec may still connect to Mozilla services that can track users (eg, the extensions store).
