Firefox on Android forcefully disables server side AI services on custom ROMs (www.omgubuntu.co.uk)

It's an unintended side effect that the majority of custom ROM users will appreciate.

Firefox being the first and only browser on Android enforcing Google play integrity verification wasn't on my bingo card

News to me. Where did you hear about it first?

[–] diaphragmwp@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This very website (well, technically another instance), someone complained how Firefox has Play Integrity

Is it anywhere close to Ironfox?

What's fennec?

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

It's a build of Firefox by the F-Droid team. It is essentially identical to normal Firefox, except that you can install it via F-Droid, which is really nice!

IronFox is a more privacy-minded option if you want that, I believe it's a continuation of the "Mull" browser.

That's the codename for Firefox Android.

Mozilla did org.mozilla.fennec. The F-Droid people then did org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid. For trademark reasons, they can't use the name "Firefox" in the UIs.

It also has additional features mainly related to privacy. I'm using it because you can install custom web extensions
