Why aren't Waterfox or LibreWolf found in F-Droid? (reddthat.com)

Are there any alternative app stores that do list them? I might just go to apkpure to side load, but it's annoying these often-recommended browsers aren't available there.

Alternatively, are there any browsers preexisting in F-Droid any of you recommend?

Just got a phone and just installed lineage OS.

Edit: FOUND IT in case anyone is looking https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox-android/releases list of APKs here

  • APKpure is a shady and illegal website. Don't use it.
  • Waterfox must be published by BrowserWorks Ltd. (the company behind it) on F-Droid to be available there; the creator repeatedly confirmed that he plans to do so but has never kept his promise about when it will happen. So, I'm sure it will happen at some point, but at worst it could be years before it does.
  • Fennec is a fork of Firefox with proprietary code removed, UnifiedPush support, and removed third-party tracking code. It's by F-Droid themselves.

Thank you, I'll check out Fennec too!
