Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dimmed Note at none against Locker Browser's 1. Dimmed Note also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.8.3 vs 18.6). Locker Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price there is nothing between them.
