LibreWolf is a great privacy oriented Browser for desktop. But there is no version for android or IOS . There are some like mull but they have their own problems. Mobile phones stay with us most of the day. So we need extra privacy for it.

    Oh, cool. I hadn’t heard of this one before. I use Fennec. I wonder what the main differences are. I noticed Mull mentions fennec in their F-droid page:

    It [Mull] is compiled from source and proprietary blobs are removed using scripts by Relan from [https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild here].

    It seems like Mull is more privacy focused?

      I just swapped to mull today. Fennec is only on fdroid or build it yourself. Fdroid updates take a week for official repo. Mull can get faster updates through DivestOS repo. Firefox just had a huge 0day and fennec is currently vulnerable.

        Ahh, cool! Good to know. I just checked that 0day, and they’re both JS exploits (which I imagine most probably are), so NoScript will probably protect me unless some of my trusted domains get compromised. It’s not ideal, but it’s within my comfort tolerance.

      If I’m not mistaken, Fennec is deprecated.

        this is a fenix softfork named “Fennec F-Droid”, not the pre-fenix firefox <=68 based fennec browser you’re thinking of.
