I did not know that Mull was dead. Thank you for sharing! I will have to make a change.
No, but IronFox is a great privacy fork for Android.
IronFox is pretty good. My only gripe with it is that my password store doesn’t recognize it as a web browser.
For example, in Firefox if I go to gitlab.com and sign in, my password store does a lookup for passwords that have gitlab.com in the path. But with IronFox the lookup is for IronFox, which is similar to what happens if I use a qr code reader app to open a link in webview. But I have webview disabled so I think it’s just something proprietary in Firefox that was striped out.

It’s on F-Droid,
but you’ve gotta add their repo:That link can also be found on their Gitlab:

I found an explanation here. They’re deliberately not including it in the main f-droid repository for security reasons.
I think it’s extremely unlikely that there’s a reason other than what they’ve stated here, but at the same time this isn’t so important to me that I’m willing to begin making exceptions to my policy against installing any software that doesn’t make it into official f-droid.
Is Ironfox better than fennec right now?
I believe fennec is maintained and operated by Mozilla, so if your goal is to get away from that then IronFox is probably a few steps further in that direction.
I just switched to librewolf and was recommended Fennec on my phone (so far so good!)
Just a heads up that if your goal is to get away from Mozilla, fennec is operated and maintained by them directly.
Ah, I didn’t know that. A quick search suggests that most of the telemetry and tracking have been removed… But yeah, I might look at other options.
Use IronFox, its based on fennec but with all Mozilla’s telemetry stuff ripped out and disabled.
