LibreWolf is a great privacy oriented Browser for desktop. But there is no version for android or IOS . There are some like mull but they have their own problems. Mobile phones stay with us most of the day. So we need extra privacy for it.

    This always gets downvoted, because it’s a painful truth, but Chromium on Android is significantly more secure than Firefox.

    There is a reason why the default included browser on GrapheneOS, Vanadium, is a Chromium fork.

    So I’m sorry, until Firefox on Android catches up to Chromium, another Firefox fork isn’t going to make the impact on the ecosystem that you think it is.

    I’m not saying you can’t or shouldn’t use Firefox forks on Android, I’m saying do so being aware of their limitations relative to Chromium forks, such as Cromite, or Mulch, the latter being the same dev as Mull. That same dev also has a lengthy write-up going over the technical details of why Chromium is more secure than Firefox on Android.

    This has nothing to do with desktop browser engines, this is specifically and exclusively in regards to Android browsers
