Mozilla has added support for Google's Play Integrity API, known for blocking users of custom ROMs from accessing banking apps, to Firefox for Android.
Last I checked, LibreWolf also wasn’t on Android. I use IronFox on e/OS
(I bought a Fairphone 4 through Murena a few years back as my first foray into custom ROMs. Still debating what I will do for my next phone when the time finally comes. I do not need to be told about the concerns about Murena, that is already factored into my indecisiveness about my next phone.)
It’s another Firefox fork (well, based on a Mull fork, which is from Firefox), similar to LibreWolf. No AI, similar built-in security and privacy features. You can find the repository and install instructions here: https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox
Mull browser, not Mullvad; the Mull browser project was discontinued, hence why IronFox picked it up. I actually don’t know if the Mullvad browser is also a Mull fork; the name would suggest a connection, but I can’t see it mentioned anywhere in a quick search of their site.
on one hand, fuck Mozilla’s enshitifiation.
on the other hand, this is a pro for custom ROM users. you get the AI automatically stripped out.
it’s almost like firefox wants everyone to migrate over to waterfox, librewolf, or mullvad-browser
Mullvad isn’t on Android. I checked when I started using the VPN. Literally irrelevant to this discussion.

This is first time hearing about IronFox. Is it a distinct browser or just a repackaging of Firefox?

What was the issue with mullvad-browser that it required a fork? Did they lose it at some point?
