For Android users seeking a privacy-focused browser, Privacy Guides recommends Mull:
Mull is a privacy oriented and deblobbed Android browser based on Firefox. Compared to Firefox, it offers much greater fingerprinting protection out of the box, and disables JavaScript Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation for enhanced security. It also removes all proprietary elements from Firefox, such as replacing Google Play Services references.
Mull enables many features upstreamed by the Tor uplift project using preferences from Arkenfox. Proprietary blobs are removed from Mozilla’s code using the scripts developed for Fennec F-Droid.
Really liking what I’m seeing coming out of Mozilla/FF lately
Same
They aren’t getting google money anymore.
I just wish Mull (and Tor on Android for that regards) did what desktop Tor and Mullvad browser (I know the devs are different) do with specific window sizes to remove unique window resolutions.
Currently both Android Tor and Mull lead to a unique per-device fingerprint.
I wish LibreWolf was on Android. Waterfox is nice though.
Fennec F-Droid suffices to remove the telemetry.
Fdroid literally says fennec tracks you under “anti-features”, did I miss something?
They remove telemetry, such as the kind of telemetry causing the problems reported in this thread. They do not remove OCSP, safe browsing, Sync, and other things that connect to outside servers and therefore leak information about user activity. They do enable about:config so that those which are unwanted can be disabled.
It doesn’t protect you as well from fingerprinting
Mull is a fork of another developers work, relan, https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/Mull-Fenix?tab=readme-ov-file, https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild, relan is one human being living in Russia so…https://gitlab.com/relan Make what you will of that.
Yea, Americans are much more trustworthy
Mull + Ublock origin and Privacy badger
Not sure about Privacy Badger. If you want to be less trackable, keeping Mull with its stock settings is recommended to greatly weaken fingerprinting.
It replaces iframe content which is nice
