Fennec/IronFox both havent released new builds BTW

You may want to look into obtainium to fetch updates from gitlab, if you havent already set that up

What is the Fennec URL? I've been searching for 5 minutes with both DDG and Google and can't find it. "Fennec" is a really overloaded word. All I can find is the F-Droid page, not the source. I wanted to try Obtanium for the first time.

That does appear to be the source, but Obtanium needs a Releases page, as far as I can tell, and people only seem to talk about it in relation to github.

I found a YouTube video that says it can install from all sorts of places. I'm going to watch it to get the gist of it.

What URL do you put in Obtanium?

I found what I think is the source for the fennec patches to the Firefox source code, but there's no releases page. F-Droid still has v133. Where are you finding more recently updated releases?

1

Ah, for some reason I assumed you meant Fennec in your original comment. I see now that person you replied to mentioned both.

Loads fine on Fennec fdroid. It even translated the page from French to English. Consider reporting this bug to ironfox folks.

Have heard that DivestOS also made significant contributions to Fennec, so not sure what the future looks like there.

Also, IronFox is a fork of Mull but I need to see long term commitment before I'm willing to change my primary browser.

I'm using Tor browser right now but I'd like not to use Tor long term.

Cromite is unfortunately chrome based, but degoogled and hardened. I keep it updated straight from the github with obtainium. Ive been using both to bypass compatibility issues, but honestly I have more issues with cromite than Mull.

Yeah I'm aware of those but I just dont want to support the Chrome hegemony. Plus Manifest v3, ew.

I found that Tor browser doesnt have and can't install uBo and has terrible ad blocking and weak finger print protection.

I switched to Firefox and went through all the settings to make it more privacy respecting. EFF Cover Your Tracks says my fingerprint protection is strong and I'm blocking all ads, so for now this is what I'm going with until I'm convinced of the long term viability of IronFox.

You reached the end

Reminder to anyone using Mull browser: it is no longer supported and will be missing updates for these android specific CVEs | Spyke
