Mull (from the DivestOS developers)
But nowadays I'm using a Chromium based browser on my phone because Firefox on Android doesn't support process isolation
- +1 for Mull.
  And yeah, on Android unfortunately you gotta choose between privacy (Firefox/Mull) or security (Chromium).
  
  Another for Mull and Cromite, here. I don't really use Mull unless I'm looking for absolute compatibility with things like web games.
  
  Mull is reasonably secure for most of the people. Only very high targets need that kind of security
- It would be great to hear the implication of that
  
  Here you can find a good explanation on that.
  
  It would still need an Android system/kernel exploit to further escape the system sandbox. It is an important hardening feature, but the browser isn't completely insecure without it
  So what? You can go back to firefox for that reasoning unless you are a very very high target
  
  Did you read the sentence before that? A malicious website could read data from other websites(opened in different tabs), and also passwords stored in the browser, etc... There is no additional system exploit needed for that
  
  Yes. It doesn't apply to me. I am no very high target.
  
  What @silent_squirrel@feddit.de mentioned does not require a targetted attack.
- Yeah, they need to fix that
