Firefox for Android vs Windows

[Lukas (Lukas Dutovas)]

Why is Firefox for Android considered not private enough?

The problem is security, not privacy.

Revise statements on Gecko browsers (Android) to make security shortcomings clear

Proposal Drop recommendations for all Gecko-based browsers on Android, except Tor Browser (lacks alternatives), due to very lacking security and add statement of reasons. Alternative proposal If above proposal does not succeed, at least change statements below to make the security shortcomings very clear, and that they apply to all users, not just high-risk. Add statement that Chromium browsers are generally preferred for security reasons. Affected section https://www.privacyguides.org/en/mobi…

Is it because you can’t configure it with the about:config page?

You can.

What if I use ublockorigin hard mode on Android as well?

It’s recommended to use the default settings for uBO if you don’t want to stand out and increase your attack surface.
