    FireFox was enhittified even before the AI bits: it fucking spies on you

    That’s why I use LibreWolf , which is literally just the latest-stable FF build, but with all the AI and telemetry ripped out, uBlock Origin and anti-fingerprinting enabled by default.

    It’s literally what FireFox was supposed to be. And they don’t even accept money . God level.

      But there is no mobile version, and their FAQ says it’s unlikely to happen. Instead they point to IronFox, which I presume is nowhere close to feature equivalent to Firefox.

          Because more people would be promoting it if that were the case? It is what it is, I’m not meaning to knock it, just wanting to seek clarity in its promotion. There are always going to be trade-offs, and it is up to each end-user to decide whether they can live with them.

            ironfox is not a brand new browser, but a soft fork like librewolf, always kept up to date. what it removes is the garbage google components, nothing useful is removed as I know. it even has a couple additional settings related to privacy, and Unified Push support for some reason I could not yet figure out

          I’ve been using Fennec for a while and it’s been a great experience. Much good. Do recommend.

            IronFox, Fennec and Privacy Browser are all decent as far as mobile Firefox, on GrapheneOS I like to use mostly Vanadium and Privacy Browser
