Well, if there was any doubt before, with the weird ToS p.r. dance they were doing last week, now we know, for sure.

I’ve already switched to LibreWolf on the desktop. Is there a good non-Firefox browser for Android available?

IronFox is the closest alternative. F-Droid repo here:

Librewolf is Firefox plus some light patches, and as such depends entirely from Firefox.

It looks like they have a team and it’s open-source. It’s a gamble, but I’m guessing the death of Firefox would probably be a boon, not a hinderance, depending on who supports what from there.

That’s chromium based. Having more firefox based browsers helps take away the dominate control Google has on browsers.

I like Zen. Waterfox is also good.
