Wow I got downvoted a lot on that I thought it was a generally agreed upon fact. Source (graphene os)

I still use firefox btw because I prefer it for many other reasons but chromium is definetely more secure.

GraphaneOS founder has fetish for Chromium and he hates F-Droid 1

tldr: he accuse f-droid not being secure and citing this bs post https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/ and he promotes accrescent.app

they contain closed-source app
they have very flawed understanding of open-source and security 2, 3

here is some examples:

Open source doesn't necessarily mean more secure. I'm aware of many open source apps with numerous well-known security vulnerabilities, as well as many closed-source apps that are highly secure. Furthermore, Accrescent will have a filter to, for example, show only open source apps, so your treatment is incomprehensible.

Accrescent doesn't claim to serve only open-source apps and never has out of the belief that an app's source model doesn't inherently make it more or less private or secure. Qlango doesn't violate any explicit or implicit Accrescent policy by the properties you listed, so it would be inappropriate to remove it.

...In addition, "trackers" are subjective. Accrescent has no plans to enumerate specific libraries or classes and blacklist them solely based on the fact that they connect to Google, Amazon, etc.; collect analytics; or contain proprietary code. This approach isn't scalable anyway because it is trivial to bypass such detection methods.

So I take everything GraphaneOS says with a grain of salt

One source from a sadly biased author. I am honestly too lazy to aggregate some numbers for CVEs to find out what's the truth but I am sure that it is not an inherent quality of chromium to be more secure.

but I am sure that it is not an inherent quality of chromium to be more secure.

Oh, come on, this is a well-know fact and it has been that way for years, although it's slowly changing. It took years for Firefox site isolation to come to Android, and even on desktops, the actual sandbox improvements to try to make it on par with Chromium came last month... It's really disingenuous to write off the entire post, claiming the author is biased while not even trying to fight the arguments he made on that website.

Last I heard there is still no site isolation on Android
