  • Per-site process isolation is a powerful security feature that seeks to limit exposure of a malicious website/script abusing a security vulnerability. Firefox calls per-site process isolation Fission and is enabled by default on desktop. Fission is not yet enabled by default on Android, and when manually enabled it results in a severely degraded/broken experience. Furthermore Firefox on Android does not take advantage of Android's isolatedProcess flag for completely sandboxing application services.

    Obviously Firefox has it own data isolation, but this doesn't matter if someone can execute bad actiing code due to lack of process isolation.

  • As I said I not a fan of Brave (mostly because of the crypto stuff), calling it spyware you could say is hhmmmm "misinformation". Yes security and privacy are different concepts but they are closely linked. If your browser fails to stop malicious code from being executed, you might find this impacts your privacy.

    Matter of facts is, Android Firefox lacks site isolation. Yes you can enable a highly experimental version of site isolation what will break your browser (admitted by your source) and may even fail to isolate sites altogether. Android Firefox doesn't use isolated processes, a functionality what can't be enabled.

    I'm not sure what your goal is with this discussion, but obviously you don't have any regard for privacy or security. Your arguments over semantics are obviously in bad fair (and not even accurate to the original discussion).

    To reiterate for the millionth time, feel free to use Firefox on Android, I'm avoiding using Firefox due to large security concerns. Once Mozilla finishes implementing site isolation and process isolation, I'll be the 1st one to move off Brave and into Firefox.

    But for your own future reference, actually source articles what support your statements. Otherwise don't get upset when someone points that out.

  • Oohh I know what must be happening, the highly experimental features you've enabled on Android Firefox must of messed up the pages. Explains why you can't read.

    Enjoy using your insecure browser 😘

  • haha cope harder friend, by default Firefox lacks site isolation. Enabling it is highly experimental 🤣 Before linking something and claiming I'm spreading misinformation (quite a serious claim to me because i spend my days coding foss privacy focused software) read the entire article 1st and when someone points out your wrong, learn how to take a loss. Also Android Firefox doesn't take advantage of Android isolated processes, what Android chrome based browser's do

  • From the article you linked yourself

    Firefox calls per-site process isolation Fission and is enabled by default on desktop. Fission is not yet enabled by default on Android, and when manually enabled it results in a severely degraded/broken experience. Furthermore Firefox on Android does not take advantage of Android's isolatedProcess flag for completely sandboxing application services.

    Read before you send :)

    I use Firefox on my PC, but as I stated Firefox on Android is lacking basic security features.

  • Don't like Brave or their products. But only decent & safe browser on Android with site isolation etc.

  • Yea but obviously he has a office 365 plan, so a alternative to the office suite for word processing etc is relevant.

  • Isn't opening sadly.

    Is this open-source? What are the requirements for a service to be listed?

  • Sheeesshh, you know when Public lewdness supports your project you know its good! Thanks for the kind words, have a great day.
