Mozilla removes telemetry service Adjust from mobile Firefox versions

For Android users seeking a privacy-focused browser, Privacy Guides recommends Mull:

Mull is a privacy oriented and deblobbed Android browser based on Firefox. Compared to Firefox, it offers much greater fingerprinting protection out of the box, and disables JavaScript Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation for enhanced security. It also removes all proprietary elements from Firefox, such as replacing Google Play Services references.

Mull enables many features upstreamed by the Tor uplift project using preferences from Arkenfox. Proprietary blobs are removed from Mozilla’s code using the scripts developed for Fennec F-Droid.

Why did you add an ad for Mull when your title and article is about Firefox?

Posting an article about something and then using it plug something else alongside it is the kind of deliberate spam mods should be removing, no matter what software they’re plugging.

Look at his posts only news that are cross post on several instance 😂

Mull has a lot of weird issues, like being the only mobile browser I tested my website on that used the front camera rather than the back camera.

You should let the user choose the camera tho.

I can’t think of a situation in which they’d ever want to use the front camera, since it’s an AR project, but I might just have to make it an option to fix weird issues like this.

They might also have a USB camera.

Hmm interesting, what else?

Safari’s bottom tab bar is the best UX I’ve seen on mobile.

I can achieve most browsers interactions from my thumb without repositioning my hand!

Firefox mobile looks like a dev opened it in an android simulator googled “hi” then checked the box “available for mobile”

P.S. Please give me a reason why you downvote me

You can change the position of the toolbar to the bottom.

Neat! Just gave it a try and it’s much better now, one issue I miss is you can’t swipe (left right) on the address bar to go to the next/prev tab

You’ll find that under settings -> customise -> swipe address bar sideways to switch tabs

You can change that as well. :)

You’re being downvotes because it’s irrelevant and you’re claiming a feature that also exists in Firefox is the reason your preferred browser is better. It makes no sense.

Fair I guess I read the other comment and the commented on the main thread incorrectly

The downvotes are because your comment isn’t really relevant to the topic

And is also incorrect, since Firefox not only has that feature, but prompts you if that’s what you want when you first open the app, so you can’t really miss it.

FF Nightly has Safari layout since v130. Use that if you like Safari but are on Android.

oooh, I haven’t checked the new layout on my phone, only on the tablet. that’s sleek!

Until Firefox mobile has a functional home button in the toolbar then I don’t care what the fuck the do because I won’t be using it. Dumb as fuck not to have it.

That house in the bottom left is a home button:

That doesn’t exist in the mobile nightly.

But honestly that’s no problem and I hadn’t noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.

And you can’t customize where that home button does, making it useless. You can not set it to a specific URL, I want to set it to the dashboard page that I selfhost that shows me the status of different things I want to see, gives me access to all my services, and has all my favorite links on it.

Open a new tab, there, home.

I can’t set it to a custom page, like the dashboard page of my server which gives me access to all my services that I selfhost, and favorite links.

You can’t do that in about:config?

Like the home icon at top left? I don’t get your point. Using fennec.

The same button is also there in stock Firefox. Im not sure what the OP was on about

Usually people complain about removing it, don’t understand what op meant

That home button is not able to be set to a specific URL making it useless to me.

What is your home page that you need access to it so conveniently?
Besides, new tab can be set to a webpage instead of a blank tab
