Mull

This is a privacy oriented and deblobbed web browser based on Firefox. It enables many features upstreamed by the Tor uplift project using preferences from the arkenfox-user.js project. It is compiled from source and proprietary blobs are removed using scripts by Relan.

Firefox for Android makes it even easier to add new browser extensions

Although Chrome dominates the mobile browser space on Android, Mozilla’s Firefox is a decent alternative with added — but limited — support for third-party extensions that make it a potential candidate for your browsing needs.

Adding new extensions has been a bit of a pain though for a while, so Mozilla has now decided to streamline the process and make it even easier to add or find browser extensions to the Android build of Firefox. Firefox 85 is set to begin rolling out from January 25, 2021, and will include the ability for Android owners to add or install extensions to their mobile browser directly from adding.mozilla.org.

While this is great news, you will still be limited to adding “official” extensions to the Android version of Firefox. The old method of adding extensions using the Add-ons Manager is likely to be removed, as Mozilla confirmed that user confusion meant this new method is being implemented.

"Previously, extensions for mobile devices could only be installed from the Add-ons Manager, which caused some confusion for people accustomed to the desktop installation flow. We hope this update provides a smoother installation experience for mobile users."

Firefox and Chromium - Madaidans-Insecurities (Last edited: April 26, 2021)

Chromium is vastly more secure than Firefox. Firefox's sandboxing and exploit mitigations are much weaker than Chromium's. This article is not blindly hating on Firefox but is a factual analysis of its weaknesses.

Introducing Site Isolation in Firefox

When two major vulnerabilities known as Meltdown and Spectre were disclosed by security researchers in early 2018, Firefox promptly added security mitigations to keep you safe. Going forward, however, it was clear that with the evolving techniques of malicious actors on the web, we needed to redesign Firefox to mitigate future variations of such vulnerabilities and to keep you safe when browsing the web!

We are excited to announce that Firefox’ new Site Isolation architecture is coming together. This fundamental redesign of Firefox’ Security architecture extends current security mechanisms by creating operating system process-level boundaries for all sites loaded in Firefox for Desktop. Isolating each site into a separate operating system process makes it even harder for malicious sites to read another site’s secret or private data.

We are currently finalizing Firefox’s Site Isolation feature by allowing a subset of users to benefit from this new security architecture on our Nightly and Beta channels and plan a roll out to more of our users later this year. If you are as excited about it as we are and would like to try it out, follow these steps:

💡 To enable Site Isolation on Firefox Nightly:

1.) Navigate to about:preferences#experimental

2.) Check the “Fission (Site Isolation)” checkbox to enable.

3.) Restart Firefox.

💡 To enable Site Isolation on Firefox Beta or Release:

1.) Navigate to about:config.

2.) Set fission.autostart pref to true.

3.) Restart Firefox.

With this monumental change of secure browser design, users of Firefox Desktop benefit from protections against future variants of Spectre, resulting in an even safer browsing experience. If you aren’t a Firefox user yet, you can download the latest version here and if you want to know all the technical details about Firefox’ new security architecture, you can read it here.

Against Modern Browsers – https://againstmodernbrowsers.neocities.org/

Web browsers were originally designed with one purpose: reading HTML documents. The web was simple and was not owned by large corporations (most notably Google). Overtime the web has evolved and became bloated and complex. All modern browsers are either forked from #Chromium or funded by Google, giving #Google complete control over the web. An independent browser developed by a small community cannot compete with #Chrome or #Firefox.

This website covers everything wrong with the modern web, everything wrong with modern web browsers, and what should have been done to prevent this..

- no opt-in, only opt-out
- opt-out only after installation, when tracking already happend
- Telemetry of Firefox is worse than chrome because in Chrome it's an opt-in, while in Firefox it's an opt-out; average users won't opt-out anyway

Great work Mozilla, thats how you violate the GDPR 😁

IronFox

IronFox is a fork of DivestOS's Mull Browser based on #Firefox that has been discontinued. Our goal is to continue the legacy of #Mull to provide a secure, hardened and privacy-oriented #browser for daily use.

And add the release link to Obtainium: https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/releases

Don't forget to use extensions uBlock Origin and Libredirect only. Adding more extensions will cause fingerprinting and most are false security.
- uBlock Origin
-- add the ai blocklist to uBO

- LibRedirect
-- setup all the sites you want to redirect to and choose your mirrors for them.


Set your default search to 4get
(Captcha) https://4get.ca/web?s=%s
(No captcha) https://4get.ch/web?s=%s

Finally, go through all the ironfox settings and set them how you would prefer them.

Read the gitlab page. Specifically...

Known Issues
Please see the list of known issues and workarounds before opening an issue!

Issues inherited from Mull that still apply to IronFox *(contents adapted from DivestOS's website)*

You should also see here for a list of websites with known issues due to hardening, and what you may need to do to fix them. This list is maintained by Phoenix - so while it isn't specific to IronFox or Mull, many of these problems do still apply.
Ironfox has Phoenix already, but this can be added to other browsers on Android and desktop.
