Any users of DivestOS here? Since it is discontinued what are you planning to switch to?
#divestos #android

Thanks to #ironfox on android. I'm back on #Firefox based browser.
Ironfox is based on #mull by #DivestOS which is now dead.
All the best to ironfox-oss team.

If anyone uses the #DivestOS #CustomROM and wonders why there are no #Updates for January, its development has ended: https://web.archive.org/web/20250120181116/https://divestos.org/pages/news#end

The websites divested.dev and divestos.org are already offline and the apps at #FDroid are discontinued: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/divest-os-apps-discontinued/29792

I hope that most of you are not taken by surprise by this news, and can migrate to @GrapheneOS, for example. I am grateful to have been able to work reliably with Tavi's wonderful soft fork and would like to thank you very much to @divested for this great contribution to the security and privacy of #Android smartphones.

PSA if you use Mull (the privacy hardened Firefox/Fennec fork) on Android, or any of the other apps maintained by DivestOS: It is now dead. https://web.archive.org/web/20250115190317/https://divestos.org/pages/news#end

There is a fork called IronFox. Unfortunately it is not in the official F-Droid repository, and I don't think they have reproducible builds, either :(

So is #DivestOS and their apps officially dead now? There doesn't seem to be any clear info on their website. Many people will probably unknowingly continue to use #Mulch or #Mull without any in-app notification. #Fdroid

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.

Repo to be added to F-droid/NeoStore: https://fdroid.ironfoxoss.org/fdroid/repo/index.html

it's a #MullBrowser fork

I'm so so sad that #DivestOS is no longer being developed (and so so irritated with the whole Android ecosystem in general). Divest was the only OS still providing security updates to my kids' #OnePlus 3 phones. Divest also supported in-place major upgrades for me and my wife's Oneplus 6, and had additional hardening over #LineageOS (which is what it's forked from). All of the other popular hardened versions of Android (CalyxOS, GrapheneOS) are focused on Pixels, which have crap hardware.

The #DivestOS is ending. Man I was using Mull for so long . Does anyone know what will happen with #mull ?

Really sad to see #Divested shut down #DivestOS and with it the brilliant hardened #Mull browser.

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.

With end of #Mull (and #DivestOS) I really wish there would be a simple option to migrate your browser data between #Firefox based browsers on #Android.

Sad news: The great #DivestOS project has come to an end and with it popular apps such as the hardened #Firefox fork #Mull, #Hypatia and the #Mulch browser: https://divestos.org/pages/news#end
Better migrate to #Fennec or #Firefox.

Thanks for all the hard work on the project all these years @divested! You will be missed and not forgotten.

#DivestOS has announced it will cease to get updates. Among other devices, this affects the #Fairphone2 – afaik DivestOS was the last remaining OS that still provided security updates for the FP2. https://divestos.org/pages/news#end /u

Leider gibt es kurz vor Weihnachten traurige Neuigkeiten: Das Custom-ROM #DivestOS und die dazugehörigen Apps werden nicht mehr aktualisiert. Wirklich schade! Ein großes Dankeschön an @divested für 10 Jahre großartige Arbeit!
