ffupdater VS fennecbuild

FFUpdater (version 78.3.0): Updater for privacy friendly browsers

I've never tried Kiwi Browser but had similarly come across it while searching. The dev interestingly refers to them ads[1] (2022), though prior to being accepted properly into Bing's referral program Kiwi redirected all search queries through their own servers[2][3] (2021) (the original Kiwi repo's issues tab has been deleted since).

Tbf dev always sounds reasonable in their responses but was a little off-putting initially so I kinda understand the GP's post.

For "Chrome", you can use Kiwi Browser or Yandex Browser. Both are a bit controversial: https://github.com/Tobi823/ffupdater/issues/35 and the other one is Yandex Browser. But both support add-ons. You can use mobile Beta/Nightly Firefox/Fennec instead with custom addon collection like in this example: https://github.com/octonezd/oldlander#firefox

But there is FFUpdater which includes IceRaven.

on Android I saw Privacy Browser in FFUpdater

Actually there was a conflict between Fulguris and Styx. But It resolved nicely between two devs. The dev of Styx deleted the repo. After migrating to Fulguris base, Styx reappeared again. Probably that's why IzzyOnDroid showing this anti-feature.

Updating apps is a pita for me: Firefox has its own updater app: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater

I use a fork called Fennec which is Firefox stable with the proprietary bits removed. Also Mull is a great fork, which is Firefox Stable with most of the privacy enhanced features from arkenfox js which enables things like fingerprint resistance. This causes a lot more breakage though, so recommend to use it as a secondary browser. Both are available on fdroid, neither requiring Google Play.

Use this page to report Fennec F-Droid bugs. If you report an issue that also affects the official Firefox app, they'll notify Mozilla.

Bug report: FIDO2 WebAuthn not supported.

It isn't missing but removed due to depending on the proprietary Google Play Services library. There was a work in progress replacement: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/34

I would not use mull browser. I haven't gotten around in making a PSA. But the source code comes from 1 person in Russia. this is source code of mull, and the pg states its a fork of relan and if you click on relan's name you will see he is based in Russia. So one person is responsible for mull and another person is responsible for the back end. During this time of genocide of the Ukrainian people its my choice to not support anything with the word Russia. Each to their own.

It looks like this is the german language version of Firefox Focus. If you like firefox you should check out Mull. It is essentially a fennecbuild (DeBlobbed Firefox) that has been hardenned and contains upstream patches from the Tor Uplift Project.
