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.

    It’s now written as if it was dangerous to use mull which isn’t

    Have you read the thread? Honestly for me it was very painful to read it because you had good arguments with good sources and the replies were all people expressing their own personal opinions. This isn’t good for a place looking to be a reference.

      I skipped a lot in the middle/bottom. I was mainly looking for what the main PG maintainers wrote. Mull isn’t a new app. There was a big discussion around it in autumn and over the years as well. Including mull was mostly carefully thought through, like it was when brave got a recommendation. The voices were loud after brave was added. For me, there’s no risk in using mull and I’m glad that it’s recognized as a good browser although the “risk” title should just be a “warning” instead.
