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?

If you dont have differences, great!

Make sure to install Ublock and noscript. Noscript to whitelist javascript for every single website and block the rest, thats the only way to really get privacy.

Also "forget me not" can be used to whitelist cookies, and delete the rest.

Its not visible lol, its in the about:config.

Only Firefox Nightly has that, so have fun hardening that manually XD. Firefox regular cant be hardened, and if you read the arkenfox user.js you know what stupid things this browser does.

Hardend Firefox out of the Box (Librewolf and Mull) are the way to go

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)

Or even, mull vs. Librewolf. Still haven't found a good comparison between those 2

Lol do you know these apps? Both do the same but on the different platforms.

Interesting! It kinda disappeared from F-Droid which is a pretty big problem. But FFUpdater supports downloading it.

Now I wonder, whats the difference to Mull?

Nice Addon collection, even though mine is more maintianed (lol?)
