I would like to propose the inclusion of the Vanadium browser for Android in your testing suite.
Vanadium is a privacy and security-hardened variant of Chromium that serves as the WebView and standard browser for GrapheneOS. Given the increasing adoption and interest in privacy-centric mobile operating systems like GrapheneOS, seeing how Vanadium performs in your tests would be insightful.
Notably, Vanadium doesn't duplicate the hardening and compatibility fixes already provided by GrapheneOS, making it a unique specimen for evaluation. Also, Vanadium can deploy security features that might break on other operating systems, given its deep integration with GrapheneOS. This approach of hardening the system rather than the browser could represent a valuable angle to consider in your assessments.
Please consider this request, as I believe including Vanadium could contribute to a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of browser security and privacy on mobile platforms.
