What are the reasons for Mullvad and DDG not being android recommendations?

I know Firefox and its variants like nightly have security issues on Android. Maybe that explains Mullvad’s elimination as well. But I’m currently searching for an alternative to Brave, as it has been requiring captchas every time I search when my VPN is on for the last week or so. I never liked the company in the first place, especially after the affiliate link stuff.

I looked into Cromite, but after how Google has been acting recently, supporting anything Chromium is hard to justify to myself either. What are the reasons for not going with DDG or Mullvad? Just security?

Mullad browser is desktop only. They don’t have an Android version.
DuckDuckGo browser on Android uses the webview, which is Chromium based, so I don’t see how you’re avoiding Chromium with it. It’s not recommended because Android webview based browsers have security and privacy problems. DuckDuckGo Web Browser - #14 by anon51470692
