Came across this today and thought it might be of interest to some folk here. IronFox is a fork of DivestOS’s Mull Browser based on Firefox. Our goal is to continue the legacy of Mull to provide a secure, hardened and privacy-oriented browser for daily use. From: IronFox

Even if the project does everything right, we would still have to wait for them to build up a track record, to see how close they stay to upstream regarding timely updates. We can proceed with this discussion once they got that done.

I was not saying that it will be included. Nor was i saying that i even agreed with mull being listed in the first place. Getting a proper update track record is just a first hurdle to get over before we consider discussing this further. Anyhow, Writing off Brave as a whole because it still support…

agreed, someone who can install a custom ROM on an older device they bought off ebay/swappa/wallapop for 50 bucks is still upping their privacy. Security concerns? For sure. But if the OEM abandoned the device at android 11, they might get cracked on stock faster than you can say “pwned”.

[image] anon56653282: Browser never should have been recommended to begin with (neither should Cromite have). Hobbyist projects like Cromite, Mull, LibreWolf, and Ungoogled-chromium don’t take security seriously and always lag behind in updates. This is just pure misinformation. Mull didn’t l…

Even before I found out about PG, I would never use Chrome because they don’t have an option to clear your browsin…

Lmao wtf. Are you like a google employee? No way you just recommended using a in heavy quotes “”“reputable”“” browser from Google or Microsoft… You are aware this is privacy guides, not spyware-guides. Also if you consider Librewolf taking about couple hours to update as a “security risk”, then gu…

(Patiently waiting for your first F-Droid (official of your self hosted repo) release, so I can ditch vanadium and go back to hardened Firefox) I personally am quite relaxed about the “Track Record” thing, as unlike PG team I am just a user, besides, every new-born projects need to build userbase b…
