I have the firefox app but its not on f droid while fennec is, what gives? And should I be using fennec instead
Ephera ( @Ephera@lemmy.ml ) 13•6 months agoYeah, the official Firefox build unfortunately depends on some proprietary libraries, which are removed by Fennec.
Fennec is just a collection of patches to remove that from the official Firefox repo: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuildGenerally, I would recommend using Fennec, yes.
If you want the official Firefox builds without using the Play Store, FFUpdater is useful: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater/ faintwhenfree ( @faintwhenfree@lemmus.org ) English2•6 months agoShameless plug for Mull here too, i use both fennec and mull.
RBG ( @RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de ) 11•6 months agoIf you are big on privacy, Mull is actually recommended, see here: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
/home/pineapplelover ( @pineapplelover@lemm.ee ) 4•6 months agoI would suggest Mull browser. It’s more hardened. I use Fennec as an alternate browser for work stuff just to compartmentalize like on my computer (librewolf and firefox)
Kai DeLorenzo ( @kaidelorenzo@lemmy.today ) 1•6 months agoDoes it also handle notifications for tab send differently?
T (they/she) ( @Templa@beehaw.org ) 1•6 months agoI tried using Mull/Fenec and for my use case it would not stop crashing (I’m using it on GrapheneOS).
Apparently it isn’t working with PWAs at all.
