I don't know how long will I need to wait in order to see a new FOSS Android browser that isn't based on Chromium or Firefox and doesn't use Android system WebView

I've heard of it , hope it'd be good

You will wait a long time and still see no results. What's wrong with existing Chromium or Firefox?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Chromium is controlled by Google, Firefox main point is add-ons (especially Ublock) but it has nothing else to offer unless you sync devices

I get the point of chromium. But, for firefox if you argue about it being useless without add-ons. The same can be said for chromium browsers apart from it being controlled by google.

Focusing on QoL over AI would be a great idea for a while. Or at least used hard-coded automation or machine learning that functions on any device.

This won't help sell a new device.

Lack of innovation is really starting to show

It would be fine if the phones stayed the same and got cheaper over time. At the moment, price are getting inflated over gimmicks, and nice features like audio jack are getting removed
