a year ago by crankyrebel to c/android

Private, secure, user first web browser for Android. https://ironfoxoss.org/

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/49140008

IronFox is Firefox ESR-based, completely de-Googled, has zero telemetry, and comes pre-hardened for privacy.

IronFox is a fork of Divested Computing Group's Mull Browser, based on Mozilla Firefox. Our goal is to continue the legacy of Mull by providing a free and open source, privacy and security-oriented web browser for daily use.

Version IronFox v140.0.4 released, .apk available for download here.

Unfortunately, not available in FDroid yet.

There's also an IronFox community here on lemmy.ml, which I created and find myself moderating; would anyone be interested in taking it over?

How do you de-google a Firefox ESR-based browser?

Also why is English not allowed for this post on Lemmy?

Probably it just means the configuration defaults that set the search engine have been changed. Honestly, I haven't found a compelling Firefox fork that makes it worth it to put in risk the future of the Mozilla engine they are all based on. I almost feel that using one of the open source WebKit-based browsers out there instead might make more sense at that point. It's been 10+ years since Google moved over to Blink, after all.

About the English thing.. I have no idea, but you are right.
