fennec is the best ff fork on android imho and pretty much exactly like librewolf with it’s defaults, it’s on fdroid. i also see ironfox recommended but i haven’t tried it personally. it’s prolly good, too.
What is with the antifeatures listed for it on f-droid? “This app tracks and reports your activity” “connects to various Mozilla services that can track users”.
didn’t realize that. it apparently leaves some mozilla telemetry enabled that you can disable by going to about:config and searching ‘telemetry’ to quickly find all options and set to false. this makes me want to check out ironfox now.
For example they skip everything between 145.0.0 - 146.0.0.
I once asked the fdroid team about it and they were like if I was affected by those crashes. It’s like if it doesn’t crash don’t touch
Weird. I guess solely from a stability standpoint it makes some sense. Or from a limited Dev team. But not much else makes much sense for skipping all that.

Over biggest problem with fennec is that they skip regular Firefox updates
Are they skipping minor bug/tweak/feature stuff or security patching?

Ironfox is excellent
