> I would advice against using Chromium on Android.
CopperheadOS had a different take on this, and recommended Chromium for FLOSS-only Android[1]:
"Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox. They’re significantly less secure and are among the few apps not able to benefit from the full set of CopperheadOS hardening features due to shipping their own linker and custom JIT compiler within the app process. The WebView is inherently Chromium-based so using Gecko also means exposing the attack surface of two browser engines rather than one. Firefox Focus currently uses the system WebView rather than Gecko but Mozilla plans to change that."
