I have the firefox app but its not on android while fennec is, what gives? And should I be using fennec instead
If you are big on privacy, Mull is actually recommended, see here: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
Although, Mull is only 60hz. If you do a lot of reading on your phone this can be frustrating.
I often install both.
By not on android I’m assuming you mean F droid. I believe the only difference is Fennec has some of the telemetry removed, mainly Google analytics, which can be turned off in the privacy settings of default Firefox anyways.
Yes my bad, I mistyped that in a hurry.
Also thank you for the clarification!
Yeah, the official Firefox build unfortunately depends on some proprietary libraries, which are removed by Fennec.
Fennec is just a collection of patches to remove that from the official Firefox repo: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuildGenerally, I would recommend using Fennec, yes.
If you want the official Firefox builds without using the Play Store, FFUpdater is useful: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater/Shameless plug for Mull here too, i use both fennec and mull.
I would suggest Mull browser. It’s more hardened. I use Fennec as an alternate browser for work stuff just to compartmentalize like on my computer (librewolf and firefox)
Does it also handle notifications for tab send differently?
