First the browser component shipped by Replicant is outdated, so it's
probably trivial for a website to take control of the phone. The
system browser component is used in a lot of applications shipped by
F-Droid.
Is it not possible to use an alternative better browser? (which?)

But it doesn't stop here as there could be unpatched vulnerabilities
everywhere in the system, including in things like the SMS application
for instance.

So even if the phone is not connected to Internet there are still
risks.

Denis.
But such risks exist in all Android versions, no?
So, perhaps the even more important questions related to that are:

- How does Replicant compare to alternatives security-wise?
- What can be done to improve things without sacrificing freedom?

Thank you Denis.

John, the browser I use is Mull.
