As per title, Help me choose a browser for android I have non rooted device. After all the researches I found best for me would be 1: Mull but with Some way for knowing which site have saved any data on my device (Maybe by extension or some defined page like about:config type) But as per my research I do not found any such thing. 2:Cromite or like it but with extension support like kiwi. 3:Privacy browser but just give assurance that google will not track me (as I have nonrooted device I have default webview).

I dont think that Vivaldi,Opera or brave stand anywhere when it is about privacy.

Help/advice/correct me!

Fennec (Firefox based), with Ghostery and uBlock origin installed.

You'll have to set add-ons up as a private collection for them to work, but it's easy as pie.

Ghostery

Interesting, I'll look deeper into that. They have an adblocking engine as well though and catch a few random ones uBlock doesn't, so I'm not totally convinced they are fully redundant.

Mull is similar to Fennec except with some privacy tweaks. Generally Mull is better.
You don't need Ghostery anymore

Ghostery sends like every website you visit to their servers. Its opt-out and Ublock origin is better anyways. Firefox really has a problem of not marking bad addons

I use Firefox focus for random browsing, normal Firefox for general browsing that I want to keep the history of, and Mull for anything where I want to absolutely minimize tracking / enhance privacy.
