Mozilla removes telemetry service Adjust from mobile Firefox versions

For Android users seeking a privacy-focused browser, Privacy Guides recommends Mull:

Mull is a privacy oriented and deblobbed Android browser based on Firefox. Compared to Firefox, it offers much greater fingerprinting protection out of the box, and disables JavaScript Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation for enhanced security. It also removes all proprietary elements from Firefox, such as replacing Google Play Services references.

Mull enables many features upstreamed by the Tor uplift project using preferences from Arkenfox. Proprietary blobs are removed from Mozilla's code using the scripts developed for Fennec F-Droid.

Safari’s bottom tab bar is the best UX I’ve seen on mobile.

I can achieve most browsers interactions from my thumb without repositioning my hand!

Firefox mobile looks like a dev opened it in an android simulator googled “hi” then checked the box “available for mobile”

P.S. Please give me a reason why you downvote me

You can change the position of the toolbar to the bottom.

Neat! Just gave it a try and it’s much better now, one issue I miss is you can’t swipe (left right) on the address bar to go to the next/prev tab

You can change that as well. :)

Maybe on android but not on iOS

Plus if you don’t have any next tab the swipe creates a new tab instead

Unless you use the synchronization features of Firefox, I think it would be best to use safari on IOS.

At least until they bring their own engine to the OS.

My reasoning: None offer content blocking, you get better fingerprinting protection with safari and you have one less application.
