#Firefox drama update:

Been using #Ironfox for Android[1] since Mull by DivestOS has been discontinued a couple of months ago.

Ironfox is a privacy hardened fork of Firefox with proprietary blobs removed. It enables many features upstreamed by the #Tor uplift project using preferences from the #arkenfox `user.js` project.

It's available on the Accrescent, F-Droid and Obtainium stores.

En ce jour semi-funeste où on a l'impression que #Firefox essaie (encore une fois) de nous la faire à l'envers, je vous rappelle l'existence de Arkenfox[1], un projet remarquable qui permet de durcir les paramètres du navigateur en adaptant le `user.js` mais aussi de virer tout un tas de trucs malfaisants comme la télémétrie.

Ils ont même développé un GUI[2] qui est juste canon.

If like me you don't like to run Chrome on Android, meet #Ironfox[1], a great project that continues the legacy of the now defunct #Mull[2] by #DivestOS.

Ironfox enables features upstreamed by the #Tor uplift project and preferences from the `arkenfox-user.js` project.

With DivestOS discontinuing, I'm looking for an alternative to Mull on #Android. I want a Gecko-based browser, preferably more privacy-focused than Firefox itself. Though I will say that I'm not totally opposed to it.

Thus far I've heard of ArkenFox, which I'm going to try out. It's a bonus that it's on F-Droid.
I also saw that Midori has a Android version now. Though not on F-Droid? I've never heard of their Play Store alternative, UpToDown. Are they legit?

I have Tor, but it's too hard nosed for me for daily driving.

I'm up to suggestions!

::EDIT:: Mainly edited to fix a hashtag, but also I'm trying Fennec atm.

I lost all my open tabs on #Firefox because I closed it and used the #prefscleaner from #arkenfox ? At least thats what I assume, I wasn't aware it does that. *sigh*

Firefox user.js: Betterfox wird oft als Alternative zu Arkenfox genannt. Hier eine Stellungnahme zu Betterfox von Thorin-Oakenpants (Arkenfox-Maintainer).

@bluecanary3 Depends on your threat model, but check out #Arkenfox which includes a link to a youtube overview, Firefox hardening guide, for how to get a baseline relatively secure setup.

@StartpageSearch

Short answer: Firefox.

Long answer: #Firefox + #Arkenfox user.js (with a custom override) + #uBlockOrigin (and a well curated yet minimal set of blocklists) + Skip Redirect + Smart Referer + Redirector (and a big list of custom redirects to privacy a respecting frontends and such). I also have a second, less restrictive user profile for playing DRM media when needed and another one for light OSINT stuff.

This is of course paired with #Mullvad #VPN and #StartPage as my homepage/default search engine. :)

I've got a couple of non-privacy related add-ons, as well, so this setup gives me basically all the privacy you can get on a modern browser (excluding Tor, maybe) while still being fast, optimized, and customized to my liking.
