much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I personally have used mull exclusively in the past, but use Fennec currently.
Commenting here just to ask others: mull has been terrible since Android 14. Is that just for me? Pages not loading at all until cache is cleared every few minutes, its been completely unusable for me so i switched.
Nothing like that on their github or nothing. Im on a pixel8/grapheneOS
Do you have darkreader installed?
Is auto theme switch not working for u?
Not on mobile, no
I thought Graphene was the culprit. When I switched it was still Android 13 and Mull was unusable. I couldn't interact with it at random until I restarted it, which was quite the problem. Tried Fennec and have had no issues since.
Ok yeah im in the exact same boat. Mull was also unusable on stock on android 14 (pre gos release); i kinda expected it to fix it.
It works just fine still on my pixel 4a so its odd...
From what I understand, mull is more privacy-centric than fennec. However, I don't use it because I had trouble accessing some websites with it.
Shared experience then. Thanks!
Use Mull. Fennec is just debloated not hardened.
I used both, and my experience is, that mull has better privacy features but a lot of pages are broken. I go with fennec, because of that.
Mull is better as it have all telementry collection removed and arkenfox by default.
For broken pages u can open issue on github someone might give option u need to tweak
Believe Mull is better strictly when it comes to Privacy. However I personally prefer Fennec as its closer to the Firefox experience.
tuta has an open source email app, have you tried it?
Not yet. I was trying to go with the browser first, before "IYAP" 😉 ("Install Yet Another App") But I am likely to end up there.

Mull is better in terms of privacy and security but breaks some Websites and addons
If I remember CYT does better on Fennic than Mull.
CYT sucks. Use https://browserleaks.com/
Use them both, but test with http://fingerprint.com
It's a real tracking company trying to sell tracking software, so they're trying to prove how good they are, by tracking you in their demo. The incentives are right there. So even if you think you've got good protection, make sure fingerprint.com can't track you
Mull is very good.
Maybe off topic but what's the issue with using standard Firefox? Also on f-droid through Fennec/FF updater.
With things as dicey as browsers, I would rather have fewer patches and a certified version. These forks never seemed very reliable to me
