I've been happily using #GrapheneOS for months now, very impressed.

They maintain #Vanadium, a hardened #Chromium fork. Sadly both lack the option to put search at the bottom, year old feature request:

Big shout out to #DivestOS team for creating the attached comparison tables! Seems like #bromite and #brave are most all-round secure & private mobile browsers.

@jcrabapple
The thing is that I use multiple browsers to separate each activities 😅
Basically :
- #DDG for quick searches
- #Brave for shopping
- #Vanadium for persistent searches

#Firefox being awesome on PC but way top slow on Android 😬

Anecdotique ? Il faut excaver en moyenne un kilo de roche pour pouvoir extraire 120 milligrammes de vanadium, l'une des terres rares indispensables à nos technologies « vertes » et numériques.

We can at least make good use of the Vanadium we already have. And yes, this a press release -- but I've been following the progress of Vanadium Flow batteries for over 10 years and I've seen a tremendous amount of progress in perfecting the technology.

2021: U.S. #Vanadium Successfully Recycles Electrolyte From Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries at a 97% Recovery Rate

"Because of their nearly unlimited energy storage capacity, high efficiency, zero emissions, very long cycle lives, and relatively low cost of available electricity on a lifecycle basis, VRFB energy storage systems are enabling consumers to utilize #renewable energy systems for 100% of their actual power needs without having to rely on renewable energy credits and other accounting offsets.

“'VRFB technologies are key to the U.S. and other nations in moving closer to truly 100% grid-level renewable energy power generation systems,' said Mark A. Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Hot Springs, Ark.-based U.S. Vanadium.

"Against a background of increasingly prevalent waste disposal issues faced by #lithium-ion batteries, VRFBs have the important benefit of its liquid electrolyte being nearly 100% #recyclable. Vanadium electrolyte, and its ability to be recycled for continuing use, is considered to be a key advantage for the technology that is expected lead to increased worldwide adoption of VRFBs as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries."

#Vanadium redox flow batteries can provide cheap, large-scale grid energy storage. Here's how they work

by James Purtill, February 2023

"The rise of #renewable energy has exposed a new problem: energy storage.

"#Solar and wind can generate very cheap electricity, but they're intermittent. For entire grids to run on renewables, enormous amounts of storage are needed to avoid blackouts.

"The two main options, pumped hydro and #lithium-ion batteries, each have their drawbacks, such as high costs [and pollution].

"Fortunately, there may be a third option."

Beamtime @esrfsynchrotron: What is the oxidation state of #antimony and #vanadium in #waste2energy ashes? We will find the answer @ID26 #beamline in #Grenoble. @BAMResearch

@dekkzz78 Yeah, I hope something like #Hexavelent from the people behind #GraphenOS #Vanadium will re-appear then. My issue with FF is that it unfortunately has far less strict sandboxing, especially on Linux :(

@Armageddon et aussi :

I have 3 www browsers on my phone because I can't decide which one to use.

Fennec is the only one I don't actually like. But I keep it because I keep finding passwords saved there that I don't have in #pass yet.
