It does the canvas anti fingerprinting with it's letterbox style display... Is strict with cross site cookie denial. A few more differences. Check out mulls site. I found it pretty detailed in its explanations
Add to that, no telemetry
True! I was shocked looking at my pihole logs and see how much Firefox phones home for that crap the other day.
For example: Firefox today on my pihole.
Can you turn off privacy features?
I still want most things for convenience, but the one thing I want to get rid of is telemetry and somehow I just can't seem to completely get rid of it with firefox (I've tried both nightly and default firefox)
So a browser that gets rid of all the telemetry and then allows me to enable other things that I want would be fine by me.
https://privacytests.org/android.html shows firefox vs mull (and other browsers) for different privacy tests.
Thanks, that really helped!
Np
Its not visible lol, its in the about:config.
Only Firefox Nightly has that, so have fun hardening that manually XD. Firefox regular cant be hardened, and if you read the arkenfox user.js you know what stupid things this browser does.
Hardend Firefox out of the Box (Librewolf and Mull) are the way to go
The more interesting question is: how is mull different from Iceraven?
To me it seems both of them do pretty much the same.
Personally I started using Iceraven because of the addons.
Edit: Downloaded Mull because nobody replied with the info - Iceraven has WAY more available firefox plugins. (while seemingly having the same privacy benefits)
Iceraven is dead isnt it?

Looks alive to me
Interesting! It kinda disappeared from F-Droid which is a pretty big problem. But FFUpdater supports downloading it.
Now I wonder, whats the difference to Mull?
Nice Addon collection, even though mine is more maintianed (lol?)

Even more important question we all need to answer is what's the difference between Iceraven and Waterfox. Could not find it anywhere
No, I can't use my yubikeys in fennec or Mull.
If you dont have differences, great!
Make sure to install Ublock and noscript. Noscript to whitelist javascript for every single website and block the rest, thats the only way to really get privacy.
Also "forget me not" can be used to whitelist cookies, and delete the rest.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
