ungoogled-chromium-android VS fennecbuild

From the project head wchen342: "I won't be able to update the versions for some time. If possible please use one of the browsers listed here in the meantime." https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-android/issues/123

It hasn't been updated in more than a year

Official Bromite and the original Ungoogled Chromium for Android are both no longer maintained: - https://github.com/bromite/bromite - https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-android

Here is the patch Ungoogled uses (from Bromite), but it is 13 versions outdated: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-android/blob/master/patches/Bromite/Add-bookmark-import-export-actions.patch

First off, Ungoogled Chromium is not being actively maintained so it's a security risk.

Ungoogled Chromium is no longer maintained the Dev recommends using something else.

Add Ungoogled Chromium

Kiwi Browser and Ungoogled Chromium for Android support chrome extensions on mobile. I'm pretty sure Samsung Browser does as well? If not try those.

Browser: It might sound surprising but this is the easiest part. If you're using Chrome, install Bromite or Ungoogled Chromium. If you're using Firefox, install Mull. There are some simpler browsers, you can test them out if you want. For syncing bookmarks, use xBrowserSync.

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.
