I just applied mulls user js to fennec in the mean time. But I’m going to try to build mull once I get home from the holidays

I would be more willing to work on Android if there was a good Foss build of the SDK. Right now the only options are from Debian oldoldstable and sid.

Huh yeah I’ve never even looked into that,but you raise a good point. I personally don’t love working on android apps, only do if there’s something I want that hasn’t been done yet.

As mull appears to have the lowest number of bits of identifying information exposed in my tests of different android browsers on the eff’s website, I’m willing to try to maintain until someone more experienced comes around. But looking at the repo it doesn’t seem super involved but I won’t really have a good idea until I actually get to trying

Any recommendations for that? Arkenfox comes to mind

In my brief testing, using Arkenfox didn’t work for Fennec for me. It wouldn’t connect to any site.

I am rooted, and copied the user.js to data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_froid/files/mozilla/[xxxxxxx].default and deleted prefs.js

Checked about:config _config.is.applied and it was set to true.

Couldn’t even browse to any site.

So I am going to have to do some more research.
