Hi, I’ve read a lot about different browsers for both PC and android but I just can’t seem to find whether disabling JavaScript on firefox (in my case ironfox on grapheneos) actually makes firefox’s security acceptable/good compared to chromium based browsers (in my case vanadium) I don’t want to support google’s browser dominance nor do I trust them to make the browser without intentional privacy risks. (I’m sure the GOS team will or have removed any obvious privacy invasive features if any exist.)

I assume vanadium without JavaScript would be safer than ironfox without JavaScript but is ironfox without JavaScript actually safe enough for daily use and random website visits?

PS: my threat model is that I’m probably not in danger but want to limit all data collection as much as possible. I don’t have anything to necessarily hide but I still care about privacy.
