Was wondering where the sudden influx of users was coming from…
Hi folks - I’m one of the maintainers of IronFox, and I’ll gladly answer any questions or concerns you have.
We haven’t properly discussed yet how we’re going to distribute the app - but yes, in addition to Obtainium, a self-hosted F-Droid repo will definitely be considered. I’d also like to look into Accrescent.
We’re looking into setting up a Matrix room as well - I’m also not a fan of Discord…
This topic has been beaten to death in various other threads, so I don’t have much to add here. It’s true Firefox has security deficiencies compared to Chromium (especially on Android), and it’s unfortunate Mozilla hasn’t put a higher priority on catching up to Chromium like they should’ve here. We’re always going to be upfront and honest about that fact, and it’s left up to the user whether they’re comfortable with the risks, depending on their threat model.
That being said, I feel like it’s silly to ignore the value that Firefox-based browsers can provide - as evident by PG’s recommendation of Mull before its discontinuation…
