Description

Fennec is now considered EOL and has been superseded by Fenix (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/68.11.0/releasenotes/).

Why I am making the suggestion

I don't believe that we should be recommending browsers that are no longer being actively developed, mainly for security reasons.

My connection with the software

Regular user of Fennec before the official release of Fenix

I will keep the issue up-to-date if something I have said changes or I remember a connection with the software.

I looked on F-Droid's issue tracker for a beta of Fenix, but there doesn't seem to be one. Only thing I found was this: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2161
