Mull Vs Firefox (sh.itjust.works)

I installed the mull browser revently. People who are familiar with this will know that it's a fork of firefox android. It's hardened but I haven't noticed much difference b/w the two. Mull has a few visible tweaks like Https mode by default, strict protection etc. but I haven't come across other backend/not so visible changes. How is it different from firefox android?

Could you post a link to the package in the Arch repository?

It's in the AUR, but still officially maintained by mullvad: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=mullvad-browser

That's the Mullvad Browser. I know that it's available on Desktop, in fact, it's only available on Desktop. OP is referring to the Mull browser, which has nothing to do with Mullvad VPN or Mullvad Browser. Mull is a fork of Fennec (Firefox for Android) created by DivestOS. It's basically Firefox for Android with arkenfox user.js and some other neat privacy tweaks.
