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.
Why did you add an ad for Mull when your title and article is about Firefox?
Posting an article about something and then using it plug something else alongside it is the kind of deliberate spam mods should be removing, no matter what software they’re plugging.
OP are you a bot?
Look at his posts only news that are cross post on several instance 😂
Mull has a lot of weird issues, like being the only mobile browser I tested my website on that used the front camera rather than the back camera.
You should let the user choose the camera tho.
I can’t think of a situation in which they’d ever want to use the front camera, since it’s an AR project, but I might just have to make it an option to fix weird issues like this.
They might also have a USB camera.
Hmm interesting, what else?
Until Firefox mobile has a functional home button in the toolbar then I don’t care what the fuck the do because I won’t be using it. Dumb as fuck not to have it.
?
Open a new tab, there, home.
That house in the bottom left is a home button:
That doesn’t exist in the mobile nightly.
But honestly that’s no problem and I hadn’t noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.
Like the home icon at top left? I don’t get your point. Using fennec.
The same button is also there in stock Firefox. Im not sure what the OP was on about
Usually people complain about removing it, don’t understand what op meant
What is your home page that you need access to it so conveniently?
Besides, new tab can be set to a webpage instead of a blank tab
Safari’s bottom tab bar is the best UX I’ve seen on mobile.
I can achieve most browsers interactions from my thumb without repositioning my hand!
Firefox mobile looks like a dev opened it in an android simulator googled “hi” then checked the box “available for mobile”
P.S. Please give me a reason why you downvote me
You can change the position of the toolbar to the bottom.
Neat! Just gave it a try and it’s much better now, one issue I miss is you can’t swipe (left right) on the address bar to go to the next/prev tab
You’ll find that under settings -> customise -> swipe address bar sideways to switch tabs
You can change that as well. :)
Maybe on android but not on iOS
Plus if you don’t have any next tab the swipe creates a new tab instead
Unless you use the synchronization features of Firefox, I think it would be best to use safari on IOS.
At least until they bring their own engine to the OS.
My reasoning: None offer content blocking, you get better fingerprinting protection with safari and you have one less application.
Safari offers ad blocking on iOS. You just have to get your extensions through the App Store. But other browsers don’t (yet).
You’re being downvotes because it’s irrelevant and you’re claiming a feature that also exists in Firefox is the reason your preferred browser is better. It makes no sense.
Fair I guess I read the other comment and the commented on the main thread incorrectly
The downvotes are because your comment isn’t really relevant to the topic
And is also incorrect, since Firefox not only has that feature, but prompts you if that’s what you want when you first open the app, so you can’t really miss it.
FF Nightly has Safari layout since v130. Use that if you like Safari but are on Android.
oooh, I haven’t checked the new layout on my phone, only on the tablet. that’s sleek!
Mobile version of firefox is kinda sucks compared to other browser with chromium based like chrome, microsoft edge, and kiwi browser.
Personally I’m using kiwi browser as my daily browser because it’s support extension feature 👍
I disagree, as a Firefox mobile daily driver I will confirm it has extensions. Dark mode reader and ublock origin, does one need anything else?
the only thing i wish firefox/fennec mobile had was a native tablet ui (like chrome). :/
it’s in the works, Nightly has a proper tab bar.
It did, but was later removed for some reason.
I swapped from uBlock to AdNauseum. It’s a fork of uBlock which also “clicks” some specific ads in order to cost companies money for running them lol
Hahaha amazing
Yeah I’m using kiwi browser as my daily driver browser because of extension feature, compared to other chromium based browser.
For firefox, It also has extension feature but the reason why I don’t use it because of the auto reload bug and some sites are somehow broken when viewed with firefox mobile.
*But for firefox desktop, I think it’s good for me
Firefox for Android also supports extensions.
Are you a bot or just this uninformed?
Firefox has extensions and isn’t chromium. Only a fool thinks a Chromium browser will stay friendly to extensions after Manifest 3.
Using Firefox. Works very good.
