A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

For those who don't know yet: Firefox Nightly for Android let you install any extension you desire.
You just need to create a custom collection on the web site and link your ID in nightly.
You can also just use the collections of other users
Like mine, for those who don't want to curate: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/17401236/p1xiekat-Android/
Maybe add PrivacyBadger, Consent-O-Matic, and DarkReader
Noted and added!
Nice, I also added LocalCDN to my own list.
Same for Firefox forks, Mull and Fennec.
Yep. I always mention Fennec who may hesitate to use Beta since it's a stable release with full add-on support.
I've never tried Mull.
Not an expert but as I've understood it it's pretty similar to Fennec, less tracking and more private than your regular Firefox. I don't know anything about either ones development team size or activity either so I can't recommend one over the other. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in.
Mull's made by the people at DivestOS
They have a browser comparison of some popular android browsers including Fennec and Mull https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
