In the search of the Holy grail of browsers I reach Browservio that seems to be FOSS. And truth be told, have a refreshing image. Anyone test it?

What makes this the holy Grail? Is it even developed anymore? Last 'nightly' was three months ago. It looks like a pretty standard webview to me. If you do use a webview you need to keep Android System Webview updated, that's where the security patches are.

Off the top of my head, and in no particular order, there is Fulgaris Privacy Browser Smart Cookie Web Monocles JQuarks Probably a bunch more, tons of webview browsers out there

Try Mull if you want a Firefox based browser, but hardened, or Mulch, or Cromite if you want a Chromium based browser.

What are you actually looking for in a browser?

I tend to use webviews for quick throwaway searches, just to spread my footprint. Your use may be different. That's fine.

Edit: deleted double post. Probably client problem

Mostly I'm looking usability. I was a bromite user, now cromite. Was using Iceraven, lot of ram usage. Was a user of Mull, but hated a lot that every page I opened, have a new tab. Even I configured...at the end of the day I have more than 20 tabs

Iirc that is an about:config setting browser.newtabpage.enabled set this to False. I don't have this issue

Have it on false, but it isn't working
