Show HN: A privacy-first browser for Android with ZERO permissions

android doesn't count 'internet' as one of those permissions apps need to popup a request for... It's kinda like given by default.... Storage, location, photos, call logs, contacts etc are the dangerous ones

Yes you're right.

That's fair I guess. But it's not open source currently on purpose, for multiple reasons: - I'm working very hard to create solid differentiating factors - like a very efficient reader mode and dark mode for websites. - The ad blocking tech is a huge differentiator currently compared to others. MANY fail to even block simple stuff like Google Analytics (just an example). - Too many people try every day to use some sort of man in the middle application or faux purchase application to try and fake a subscription for Snap Search. If the code is exposed, it's easier to cheat the system. - I personally wouldn't pay for an open source product if I could just get it up and running myself. But I understand what you're trying to say. Will honestly definitely consider it

Yes & No! Yes to cookies and local storage, browser/dom storage.

There are some browser fingerprinting properties which is simply not possible to 'disable' currently unless you can get your own stuff from the ground up though, but that's the bitter truth.

Everything that is possible has been done though.
