I use LibreWolf mainly because it handles fingerprinting and tracking blocking well and is open source. I also do not want Tor-related stuff because I don’t want to risk going to illegal websites. So do you know any LibreWolf alternatives for mobile and Android that handle fingerprinting and tracking blocking well, automatically delete cookies and are open source?

    Mull is pretty much the mobile equivalent of Librewolf. Totally different developers, but basically the same philosophy.

      Mull is great! It uses the same privacy configuration as the official Tor browser. But it does not use Tor.

      Do you mean this? I don’t want any Tor-related stuff, and this says something about Tor, so that’s something I’d avoid.

      Edit: Someone said that it does in fact not use Tor, so I am safe from landing on those websites, but do you think Mull can handle fingerprinting blocking better than Brave?

        Yes, that is the right Mull. As for how it compares to Brave, I could not say.

        Mull doesn’t access Tor but it has some privacy features inspired by Tor and Librewolf. I would not download a 6 month old version, the latest update was pushed June 20.

        As for Brave vs. Mull, the developer of Mull created this comparison table with some other Android browsers: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

        A Brave employee maintains this comparison, which seems to admit that Mull is stronger than Brave for fingerprint protection: https://privacytests.org/android.html

          So should I use Mull over Brave? And why is the last version six months old?

          Edit: Do you mean this version?

    Huh? Tor does not make it more likely to end up on illegal websites, if you’re not actively searching for it.

    That doesn’t mean you have to use it oc, but the reasoning doesn’t really make sense.

    Wait what

    Don’t want to use Tor because you don’t want to go to illegal sites? I’m not a native English speaker so maybe that’s why this makes no sense to me

    Could maybe try Firefox Focus? I dont use it myself so cant speak for it, but worth checking out at least.
