I just found out you can use Obtanium to make this process easy, you can just add the repo URL into the app.

I can do all of that and still sign the petition, it only takes 2 minutes to sign.

And with enough votes it is meaningful!

Interesting, seems you have to download the .apk directly from their repo though, rather than any store. So I'm guessing there's no automatic updates?

I think I might give IronFox a go, just a bit weary as never heard of it before, not sure who is the owner of the project and where they are based, GitLab project only has ~125 stars.

Have you ever used the Accrescent app store? That's their recommended option for installing it.

Recently there has been controversy around Mozilla Firefox.

I've been looking for an alternative but really struggling, seems like every alternative has a downside:

  • Vivaldi: Uses some proprietary code and likely not doing much better on the user data side of things, also based on Chromium.

  • Tor: Uses Tor protocol and so is quite slow, my ISP would probably also think I'm a drug lord.

  • Fennec: Basically looks the same as Firefox but guessing less up to date, F-Droid has a warning about it's using Mozilla services for tracking.

What are you guys using? Have you found anything good?

Cool the user count is going up, just hope it's not going to be all bots and trolls 😆

 

After reading this Reddit thread I had a look to see if there were any petitions to prevent this and found the petition I have linked in this post, doesn't seem to have a lot of signatures.

Please sign the petition if you agree with it 🙏
