If you are big on privacy, Mull is actually recommended, see here: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

Although, Mull is only 60hz. If you do a lot of reading on your phone this can be frustrating.

I often install both.

I had no idea an app could limit screen frequency.

Of course, imagine e.g. games. Setting the refresh rate can be important for a program to work correctly and also performance. In the case of Mull that’s a part of the Rest Finger Printing (RFP) stuff they rolled out around 102.

I wondered why they did this. I love the idea of Mull but the screen frequency makes it unusable. They can't set it higher but just report 60hz or something? Is there no way to change that?
