Glad mull got forked I'll probably start using that.

Can you explain what makes this better than fennec?

[-] Album@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

Arkenfox.js built in. It's not better in the sense that they are competing but rather complementary open-source projects

[-] Album@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Mull was built off of fennec for fdroid. Iron Fox is a fork of mull though I don't know if it's still using fennec as a base since forked.

Pretty sure no forks are effected, the ToS only impacts Firefox the browser not Firefox the codebase.

Fennec is like a half fork, it contains mozilla services and is essentially just a fully FOSS build(blobs removed). That's why I was curious.
