Browsing history on GoS

GeorgeSoros

After deleting history, cache, cookies on a browser, is there still a way for someone who accesses the phone can see what sites you've been on?

What's the solution, if so?

GeorgeSoros A person with physical access cannot access your browsing history if you have deleted all data.

On the other hand, and this is a different matter, he could always access your bookmarks if you've created them. If he types a link in the URL bar that corresponds to a URL address in your bookmark, the web browser will automatically suggest the link and even similar links also saved in your bookmarks.

You should probably restart the phone to flash the temporary logging to RAM that GOS does (I don't know if the logs contain any browsing details, but they might). If it is really important, I would also clear "Storage and Cache" in "Settings -> Apps -> Vanadium" for example. CAUTION: this will delete ALL your bookmarks too, it is a nuclear option.
That should get rid of everything.

Is there any way to disable these auto suggestions from popping up in URL bar, aside from deleting bookmarks?

And what makes Vanadium better than Brave?

GeorgeSoros

Thanks. Is Brave better than Vanadium?

No.

GeorgeSoros it depends.
Where Brave is definitely better is the "on-board" Ad-Blocking.

There sites I have ads (sometimes) in Vanadium which are ad-free when visited with brave (on my old device)

But I don't use Brave anymore since I use GrapheneOS.
I sometimes don't trust brave to be that privacy orientated as they state (but that's just my paranoia)
