On Android/GrapheneOS, Firefox/Mull/variants is the only browser with the needed proxy settings to use with i2p.
After a bit of searching, it works very well!
As i2p servers you can use “i2p”, “i2pd” (more minimal but more efficient) or “InviziblePro” which bundles some implementation of i2p.
I am using i2pd currently, and it works well.
Installed the apps with Obtainium
- Mull from the DivestOS F-Droid repo
- i2pd from the purplei2p F-Droid repo
- MullvadVPN from Github, Orbot from the guardianproject repo (as fallback if clearnet sites are used)
The browser can open .i2p and clearnet sites, using a little hack:
network.proxy.no_proxies_on to !.i2p
What would you expect?
The tor network has more common stuff, drugs etc.
I2p meanwhile is just really good for anonymity. I think using it for messengers is the best use. I was able to find a bunch of stuff, and yes unlike the dark web this would mostly be also there on the clearnet, mainly because there is no such business on i2p I guess
Just random people offering services for free, a few pads, pastebins, fileservers
You can find quite some cool stuff actually, but I think the main advantage is using it for messaging
And unlike i2p, i2pd also doesnt really use much battery? I could totally keep that on all day
