Rules:
In case anyone is curious as to why, here's a direct quote from them in Fairphone forum:
As mentioned, it is the 10 year anniversary. That is a long time and I need to move onto other projects in life.
They also have this for those looking to replace Mull: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
fuck is it being discontibued?
Good thing I don't have a million bookmarks on my current phone using Mull. Definitely gonna end up switching over to Fennec and hardening it.
Edit:
I am either dumb or I need root for arkenfox, so looks like I might be changing things in the about:config manually. Joy.
My current plan is to mount my phones root Dir offline via twrp
Where did you see it was being discontinued? I don't see anything on their website. And you can install the IzzyOnDroid repo, it has faster updates for many things. https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/
At least the developer of DivestOS announced the end of DivestOS: https://www.divestos.org/pages/news#end
The Mull browser belongs to that project or at least originates from it.
Dammit!
Thanks for that.
Where did you read it's being discontinued?
Edit, found another post mentioning it
You can use obtanium to pull the latest build from gitlab directly
They claim that they're removing the support for it from the server as well.
I assume you are talking about mull? My comment was for op's comment on f droid being slow in updates. I personally use fennec from f droid as I believe them to be another eyes reviewing the code when I can't but I do use obtanium for things that are not on f droid or need a quick update of something.
Ahh yes, mull.
I'll consider it
Perhaps Iceraven?
Fennec is likely the next best, although it lacks the Arkenfox hardening. Obtainium is a great app to get builds of Fennec directly.
If you're on GrapheneOS, there's Vanadium. Using a filtering VPN atop it can help reduce ads beyond what Vanadium can already block natively (the devs have integrated some lists that uBlock starts with, such as Easy List). This is the best option lieu of add-on like uBlock, which aren't supported.
I'm going to apply Akenfox to Fennec.
I don't like Obtainium since it is a separate app but that might be my only other option.
I'm not on Graphene OS so that's not an option. Also you don't need Graphene OS do do network filtering.
