Hello everyone! I’m new here. I have a question about browsers for Android related to privacy and the specifications of my mobile phone. I saw in the recommendations on this forum that the recommended browsers for Android include Brave and Cromite. I have been using Brave for about a year, but I can’t update it because the latest version is not compatible with my device. Besides those two browsers, are there any other alternative browsers for my device? I have an Android 9 device.
I hate to say this but you should really replace your device. Using android 9 is not a good idea and you are at a significant security risk far beyond the browser you use.

I agree with @ph00lt0 . Is your device compatible with any of the alternative Roms? Believe me by using an extremely outdated os you are putting yourself at risk.

If you can’t change device, I would avoid any native app and use Ironfox .
Harden it: go in Settings > Ironfox Settings and disable printing, WebGL, JIT , WASM. Also disable Add-ons, but check that this doesn’t remove uBlock Origin. This will break many (*) website, but it is crucial. Unlike for modern Android versions, any vulnerability in the browser engine could easily lead to full device access.
*Not as much as you think, perhaps 5-10% of websites, depending on how many modern (advanced things, such as interactive maps) websites you use.
Also consider using Shelter (work profile).
