I installed the mull browser revently. People who are familiar with this will know that it’s a fork of firefox android. It’s hardened but I haven’t noticed much difference b/w the two. Mull has a few visible tweaks like Https mode by default, strict protection etc. but I haven’t come across other backend/not so visible changes. How is it different from firefox android?
No pocket 😛
Fennec is firefox without mozilla stuff and mull is fennec with arkenfox settings
I use mull as a daily driver. I’m happy with it
Firefox is bloated with telemetry.
The more interesting question is: how is mull different from Iceraven?
To me it seems both of them do pretty much the same.
Personally I started using Iceraven because of the addons.
Edit: Downloaded Mull because nobody replied with the info - Iceraven has WAY more available firefox plugins. (while seemingly having the same privacy benefits)
Even more important question we all need to answer is what’s the difference between Iceraven and Waterfox. Could not find it anywhere
Or even, mull vs. Librewolf. Still haven’t found a good comparison between those 2
Mull is as close to LibreWolf as you can get. LibreWolf is desktop only, Mull is Android only.
But I have mull on desktop… And it’s in the Arch repos. We’re talking about the browser, right?
Could you post a link to the package in the Arch repository?
It’s in the AUR, but still officially maintained by mullvad: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=mullvad-browser
That’s the Mullvad Browser. I know that it’s available on Desktop, in fact, it’s only available on Desktop. OP is referring to the Mull browser, which has nothing to do with Mullvad VPN or Mullvad Browser. Mull is a fork of Fennec (Firefox for Android) created by DivestOS. It’s basically Firefox for Android with arkenfox user.js and some other neat privacy tweaks.
Oh that’s different, Mullvad browser is a cringe chrome browser, don’t bother. Mull is an Android Firefox fork.
Mullvad browser is a cringe chrome browser
Uh, no. Mullvad browser is definitely not based on Chrome or Chromium. It’s based on the Tor browser which is based on Firefox.
No, I can’t use my yubikeys in fennec or Mull.

You’re right about being cautious that they might be discontinued, but you can always port them to another Firefox port. Also this is a fork from Firefox stable and applies patches to it, so not a ton of custom code needs to be done.
