Whats the alternative on android?
IronFox is an option
Where do I get it? It's neither on the playstore nor on Fdroid.
You can get the F-Droid repo from their GitLab or Github (they recommend Accrescent though)
Ironfox
I'm using Fennec.
Is it? It seems to be maintained by a user named relan based out of Russia. It's just a few scripts to build it for F-Droid and basically just removes some proprietary stuff. It's not a fork, just a build script.
Yes, this is built from Mozilla's sources, but AFAIK Mozilla doesn't maintain this build script, and the build script strips out certain parts of Firefox and adds in others (e.g. logo). It's not a fork of Firefox, it's just a builder that replaces parts of Firefox.
So Mozilla doesn't maintain Fennec, since Fennec is a separate build of Firefox, but they do maintain what Fennec is built from.
Waterfox if you are ok with getting it from the play store
