This is so so sad, :( I’ve been using Mull for quite some time and recently Hypatia. I guess time to move to fennec since I doubt there’s a fork in the horizon, :(
Mull browser is mullvad browser?
Totally unrelated, mull is pretty cool in the sense that it brings arkenfox configs for the user, and it strips some binary blobs. To me the AOSP privacy browser with no actual alternative. Some say it’s like librewolf for AOSP.
Bottom line, no, totally different things.
Nooooooo Mull is dead now? It’s my default browser.
I hope someone picks it up and forks it like we have Cromite for Bromite.
I have never really known the major differences between Mull and Iceraven. I keep them both installed, so I will probably be switching to Iceraven full-time now.
I personally don’t use either of the browsers you mentioned: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/mobile-browsers/
Hopefully we see some of these projects picked up by others. In a weird way, sometimes these sorts of events end up being exactly what a project needs to get forked/transferred and have even more funding/resources thrown at it.
Ive only recently been utilizing mull, mulch, and hypatia, but they’ve been fantastic. All the best to the devs.
After a quick look at what I believe is mull’s most up to date repo https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/Mull-Fenix
It doesn’t appear to be too complex to maintain (only looked at the past 3 or so commits as I’m with fam right now)
Hoping someone continues with the project, as it was, in my opinion, probably the most privacy friendly browser for android other than Tor which has it’s usability issues.
I may try to play around with setting up an fdroid build server for the interim after the holidays.
Edit: I wonder if the old maintainer would be open to having some sort of knowledge transfer session?
I’ll reach out to the old maintainer early January, but I’ll try to spend some time understanding the repo before then.
If it requires a lot of maintainace, I’m afraid I won’t have the time as I already work overtime as a software dev.
Feel free to DM me. It’s a good project and will look good on a resume so it’ll be worth my time. I’ll be learning the Android kernel but I’m comfortable with the Linux kernel so it’s the perfect project for me to be honest. I’m also willing to help organize the efforts of others, create documentation and respond to issues and pull requests.
I was already considering contributing to Postmarket OS or Bliss OS but this sounds like a better fit for me.
This is a terrible day for rain
