  • Has all the telemetry, analytics, and pocket crap removed, and some proprietary blob or something lol. I know if they ever add more spying stuff the future that it’ll automatically be patched out in the fork I use. Besides that, it’s the exact same experience. Even Firefox Sync works which I use.

    On top of that, it’s available on f-droid so it doesn’t rely on Google Play at all, which is very important if you’re trying to minimize Google stuff on your phone.



  • I’m on grapheneos and set my private dns to dns.adguard.com like the other guy suggested (also set it on my router too!)

    I use Fennec (Firefox stable fork) from fdroid and it has the uBlock Origin extension, and I go hardcore and enable every single filter except the language filters lol. DarkReader extension also is super nice and is set to my auto enable on my system color setting.

    Also I use noScript and go to the settings and enable “temporary allow top level domain scripts” and it allows a good amount of sites to work without having to manually allow extra stuff. There’s still a lot that break, but much less breakage then blocking all js by default. I would skip noscript altogether if you don’t want to manually enable js files and keep tweaking until the site works. It’s really overkill for everyday browsing.

    Using Mull browser (also on fdroid) too if you don’t mind some breakage, it’s Fennec but with arkenfox.js, so basically all the maximum privacy and anti-fingerprint resistance settings enabled. I don’t really need that level of privacy, and Fennec + uBlock Origin is private enough to me to defeat all the trackers and it “just works” without ever tweaking anything on any website.

    Bonus tip: try out Droid-ify app instead of fdroid. The fdroid app is super archaic and Droid-ify is an actual modern version with seamless updates for fdroid apps.
