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.
What i’m learning about these firefox derivatives is they are just applying some patches, putting lipstick on that pig, and calling it something else. So might be time to just list the patches and compare which patches we like. Like trading baseball cards or cheering our favorite team (patch).

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?
