While we don't promote non-#FOSS apps, we can salute #Brave for setting up a #FDroid repository for #BraveBrowser. @brave how about a fully FOSS browser in f-droid.org next? 😉

@fdroidorg @brave - what parts are non-FOSS in Brave? The crypto-wallet stuff? And/or something else. I've been liking Cromite myself recently as far as Android browsers go, but Brave seems to be the only Android browser that strongly resists fingerprinting.
@TotalSonic @fdroidorg @brave "Brave seems to be the only Android browser that strongly resists fingerprinting."
Let me introduce the Tor Browser. @torproject
@elgregor @fdroidorg @brave @torproject - nope, not according to the EFF's stress test at https://cpveryourtracks.eff.org - Brave continues to be the only Android browser I've tested that passes this third part. Lots of browsers (including Cromite) do better than Tor as far the first parts goes too.
@TotalSonic @fdroidorg @brave @torproject IDK what you did, but for me, Tor Browser for Android shows Yes/Yes/Your browser has a nearly-unique fingerprint.
Most of the fingerprint data stems from the fact that Tor Browser is hiding info or providing placeholders, and from the fact that it's based on Firefox (which is very rare on Android). Still, the point of Tor Browser is to be indistinguishable from other users of Tor Browser, not from everyone else.
@elgregor @fdroidorg @brave @torproject - I noted that Tor, unlike every other browser, wouldn't allow me to take a screen shot (I had to choose to print first), which is certainly a great feature to better guarantee privacy (although can cause inconvenience for some users, such as myself, that take screenshots often)
@TotalSonic @fdroidorg @brave @torproject You can allow screenshots in the settings.
@elgregor @fdroidorg @brave @torproject - thanks, good to know
