I think LibreWolf only works on Windows computers or Apple devices.

LibreWolf supports a lot of Linux distros

For now, I think I’ll use the Tor Browser until I find a browser that is more focused on privacy and has more advanced features.

Tor Browser is the most private browser in existence, but the UX is rough because it makes a lot of tradeoffs. But if you want you should try it and see what you think.

I feel that Google is always watching us

If your concern is Google in particular, then an ad-blocker to block Google scripts and avoiding Google sites will probably suffice.

Some people say that Mozilla sells some of its users’ data and makes false promises about security.

For exploit protection desktop Firefox is close to if not on par with Chromium nowadays. For data collection they do collect it in vanilla Firefox, which it looks like is used to serve ads and “personalize” their services. But the forks usually have all that disabled.

I was just looking for a secure browser for personal safety.

I can’t tell what exactly you’re trying to stay safe from. If it’s exploits and getting hacked, then Firefox is good basically as long as it’s on desktop and not installed through Flatpak. If it’s telemetry from the browser itself, then LibreWolf and Floorp are better choices. If it’s tracking from websites, then having an ad-blocker and light fingerprint protection has basically no downsides which you can get on any Firefox-based browser (although the Chromium forks are more user-friendly for that specifically) but beyond that requires more effort.

I barely know much about technology.

LibreWolf has somewhat aggressive defaults so it’s not the smoothest browsing experience but easy to work with if you know what to expect. Floorp is my go-to recommendation for people who just want a well-functioning web browser that doesn’t get in their way, but it doesn’t have ad-blocking or anti-fingerprinting enabled by default.

Hiding properties of your physical hardware is a lot of work and comes with tradeoffs, and it’s worth asking what exactly you’re trying to accomplish. If it’s being anonymous, then you want Tor or Mullvad browser. If you just want to confuse websites then LibreWolf has fingerprinting protection enabled (and other Firefox browsers can toggle it on), Brave also has that but not as aggressive, but neither will work as well for fingerprint protection especially if you modify the settings or install extensions or even just resize the window.

My guess would be Helium and Titanium

I have F-Droid Basic and just downloaded F-Droid 2.0 and I can’t tell what the difference is

Vanadium on GrapheneOS and Trivalent on SecureBlue are the most security-focused. Firefox/Chromium/Safari-based browsers on desktop in general are decent for security. Avoid anything through Flatpak, and I believe Firefox-based browsers on Android are still behind as well. For Linux in general, Librewolf and Floorp don’t collect telemetry as far as I’m aware and have the most features. If you’re trying to be as anonymous as possible there’s other options as well.

I was trying to use Nix-on-Droid but the Android OOM kept killing my builds, and this is with a phone with 12 GB RAM

There’s a lot that Qualcomm could do better support-wise

GrapheneOS has never focused on being widely accessible

16 GB RAM

Will I finally be able to compile stuff and use Nix on it?

I’m glad it comes with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme instead of one that’s not Elite or Extreme

The current ARM chips at least don’t seem to have stuff like Intel ME, the integrated GPUs are much better as well especially for running AI models. Power efficiency as well, Intel at least is getting close but still behind. Also memory tagging. The Intel/AMD duopoly is getting old.

Sick I’ll check back in a few months when the GrapaheneOS phone releases and see if I should get that instead (kind of depressed about the state of Linux ARM laptops tho, Asahi Linux was great but the hardware is EOL now)

Does it work with other distros also? My phone is about to lose GrapheneOS support and hope to replace it with a Linux phone one day

Doesn’t it usually use the previous Short when it does that? I thought it was another one of Youtube’s annoying bugs
