I finally moved off of Mull (lemmy.zip)

It actually was pretty easy. All I did was install Fennec and then tweak a few settings.

I switched the browsing protection to strict
I installed ublock origin
I went to about:config and enabled resist fingerprinting

I ran some fingerprinting tests and my slightly modified Fennec performs about the same as Mull

Where are you downloading Fennec?

I see F-droid has a certain version available, is this the one you use?

"Fennec F-Droid is based on the latest Mozilla Firefox release. It has proprietary bits and telemetry removed, but still connects to various Mozilla services that can track users."

F-droid

I don't think the telemetry us that big of deal but I also have no idea how to turn it off.

They're already off. The Fennec builds on F-Droid apparently don't even have the option to turn telemetry on -- it's not in the build.

Go to about:telemetry in the URL bar and it should say that telemetry upload is disabled.
