It‘s less probable that they‘ll track you (yes, this is a weigh question; less tracking but also less security, I am not able to jugde / weigh these two (dis)advantages). Also browsing is less annoying due to lesser ads. And you don‘t support the Google monopoly.

This is not meant in any kind of objection or something, but do you then think the past Mull PG recommendation was good / justified?
I feel attracted to not supporting Google, without a doubt. I’ve tried Ironfox and it’s very good, although it was quite a bit slower for me. But as for ads, I haven’t noticed the difference compared to Brave.
On the other hand, I haven’t tried Mull. I started getting interested in privacy very recently.

It’s mostly just convenience for me. The modern web has become almost unusable without accounts for everthing. More and more websites has a paywall, force you to login or block you if you’re using a VPN. Etc.
Gecko based browsers is alot more convenience for me especially on mobile. With addons like uBO and LibRedirect. You can easily bypass most paywall’s and can automatically redirect annoying websites to a frontends.
Chromium based browsers on mobile really sucks at this alot links you click on a search engines you will likely get blocked or paywallet. Ofc their are ways to get round it on Chromium based browsers but all the ways I have tried was either buggy or annoying to do on mobile. You’re more locked down on what you can do.
I don’t mind sacrificing a little security for user freedom I have been a Firefox user for my hole life. I have never got hacked or been in a data leak because of Firefox that I know of, so I thinking I’m doing fine.

I’m honestly really impressed how fast IronFox is. I don’t really notice a big difference if I use IronFox or Vanadium. Idk if because of I’m using a pixel 9 pro or gecko has become a lot faster over the years on Andriod or IronFox config.
I remember back in the Mull era, I always wanted to use Mull but everytime I tried Mull, it was painfully slow I was always going back to Bromite/Cromite.

How does the test tell you that?
Canvas readouts match exactly whatever the canvas is being set to. Therefore canvas can be used for fingerprinting.
Readouts were being slightly altered while the FPP canvas protection partially worked in previous Firefox versions. The readout is completely random in Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser.
Does this apply to all android browsers or only to all gecko android browsers @any1?
By prompts they mean the prompts that Firefox creates (e.g., canvas extraction). This is not an Android-based restriction, it just isn’t implemented to work on Android atm.

I don’t understand how that is an issue if the canvas is random and changes regularly.
I believe Firefox generates a random canvas every time but I could be wrong.
