For Android users seeking a privacy-focused browser, Privacy Guides recommends Mull:

Mull is a privacy oriented and deblobbed Android browser based on Firefox. Compared to Firefox, it offers much greater fingerprinting protection out of the box, and disables JavaScript Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation for enhanced security. It also removes all proprietary elements from Firefox, such as replacing Google Play Services references.

Mull enables many features upstreamed by the Tor uplift project using preferences from Arkenfox. Proprietary blobs are removed from Mozilla's code using the scripts developed for Fennec F-Droid.

Why did you add an ad for Mull when your title and article is about Firefox?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

Posting an article about something and then using it plug something else alongside it is the kind of deliberate spam mods should be removing, no matter what software they're plugging.

Mull has a lot of weird issues, like being the only mobile browser I tested my website on that used the front camera rather than the back camera.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You should let the user choose the camera tho.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can't think of a situation in which they'd ever want to use the front camera, since it's an AR project, but I might just have to make it an option to fix weird issues like this.

They might also have a USB camera.
