Interesting, I'll have to keep an eye out for this .. .
When I think of cloning, they would still share states though? . . . ie: shared cache/storage/install parameters .. so a tracking pixel set on one, would be inherited to the other
Guess we won't know until it's released and we can test the implimentation.
Graph_Curious No. To my understanding, they'll be distinct. For example, you'll be able to log into one account on one instance of the app, and to another account on the other instance of the app. It doesn't just apply to browser apps, but all apps.
GrapheneOS Hi, we had this discussion last night on twitter and indeed it is a complicated subject. But on GrapheneOS, the best solution to navigate while being blended in the biggest mass would be to use Google chrome? Would using it on GrapheneOS make it unique or is it better to stay on vanadium? What is the best solution to be invisible? (A bit to close the topic once and for all)
I think anyone who thinks that they can truly “be invisible” is chasing fairies in the moonlight, but that’s just my opinion.
Blastoidea The one that best blends in
Just FYI, Bromite is still being developed by a different person unofficially and includes more ad-blocking + more anti-fingerprinting + more fixes - https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools .
OpenSource-Ghost Yes, but we can't count on the digital fingerprinting of a completely modified chomium browser... That's either chomium or vanadium in my question. Plus brave includes a von and crypto stuff so not good
And brave is not in version 112 at the moment
Does anyone know whether it is possible to install Vanadium on a non-GrapheneOS system? Or is there a decent fork of it?

Not possible yet but apparently GOS have plans to do so eventually.
Brave is the most modified because of all the crypto revenue stuff. Bromite is basically hardened and tweaked Ungoogled Chromium + ad-blocking + anti-fingerprinting. I'd stick with Vanadium if security is more important to you than anti-fingerprinting features and anti-ad features. Otherwise I'd use Uazo's builds of Bromite. I don't like Brave.
OpenSource-Ghost
I don't like Brave all that much either but it has in my mind at least one killer feature that Vanadium hasn't. The option to delete all content (history, cookies, etc.) when you close the app.
I really wish Vanadium had that feature.
I don't even know why bromite is mentioned, it is only in version 108! This is a joke
They have been lagging behind since last December.
I was using it, but upon reflection, and reading posts here, I dumped it and went back to Vanadium.
Some users are on the "unofficial" versions of one of the developers ( https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools/releases ), who is still working on it and are up to date.
(Just to clarify, this is not my recommendation)
About fingerprint Brave would be interesting keeping its settings to the default value, and if it grow much more.
Probably Vanadium have a better compatibility with more websites because no add filters.
matchboxbananasynergy There is somewhere a review checking if Brave still send unwanted data, user ID or anything when telemetry is disabled ?
The Brave search engine could be trusted ?
i wondering, why is vanadium not mentioned in https://privacytests.org/android.html
Blastoidea a few people not from the GOS project have said here that you should use chrome to blend in, but given the feedback I understand that they have deleted their accounts. it's too bad. there are not many ways to make something understood. if you want to gain privacy, it's simple: it depends on what you do with it. you can have a very private life on chrome.
