Mull browser is a privacy hardened fork of Firefox for Android. From the README:
It's built with open source scripts, stripping all the proprietary blobs from Firefox for Android. It's kept up to date with upstream releases, and is distributed through an F-Droid repository.
I think this would be a good inclusion on PrivacyTools.io
Do you have a link to the project? (It would alos be nice if you could use the templates provided when opening an issue 👍🏼 )
Sorry! Here's the project.
https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/mull-fenix
That's a bit misleading. Tor Uplift does not go "through" arkenfox etc. And Mull does not use pyllyukko which is at least 3 years out of date
I didn't mean to misrepresent the project. The information I shared must not be current. I didn't realize pyllyukko was no longer current.
I just came across this now.
This is my project.
It has been around since end of 2017.
It is not a hard fork by any means.
Fenix repo is here: https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/Mull-Fenix
Old Fennec repo is here: https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/Mull
Builds are available via my F-Droid repo: https://divestos.org/fdroid/official
Mull pulls in the user.js files from my other project Brace: https://github.com/divestedcg/Brace/tree/master/brace/usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences
@pyllyukko's user.js file was removed many months ago:
27bee0bf9dAnd even then it was a husk a year before that:
4d6dd6a665The description was refined at some point: "It enables many features upstreamed by the Tor Uplift project using preferences from the arkenfox-user.js project."
I am sure it could be improved, but I haven't bothered.
As an aside, @Thorin-Oakenpants thank you for maintaining your user.js all of these years.

Any questions welcomed.
@SkewedZeppelin thanks for clarifying 👍🏼
I ran this app through classyshark, it still includes many trackers such as google admob. Not sure if this is intentional @SkewedZeppelin?
@ph00lt0
those are blank stubs.
I think classyshark lets you long click to see the whole class.

Thanks for quick response @SkewedZeppelin, I didn't look much further yet.
Mull has recently been added to the official F-Droid repository 🚀 , you should see it in a few days.

+1 mull is great for privacy by default and after being added to f droid it doesn't have any trackers unlike fennec in f droid. It isn't getting the attention it deserves, placing it in privacytools site will help make it popular and more accessible to people.
