Yeah, we’ve been waiting to update documentation until our website is ready (since that’s where we’ll keep everything). You’re right we do need to make this more clear.

Shitty of them claiming to follow Mull’s legacy if they’re doing their own thing.

How?

Our change in approach to fingerprinting was very carefully considered and discussed, both privately and publicly.

FYI: Arkenfox doesn’t enable RFP by default anymore either, and LibreWolf is also considering switching to FPP with an approach like ours.

IronFox still has the same core goals/mission as Mull: to provide a privacy & security-oriented Firefox-based web browser for Android. If IronFox isn’t for you, that’s completely fine - but I just don’t understand how this is shitty or compromising Mull’s legacy/ideals.

They changed some basics from Mull and decided to go other ways.

What basics did we change, and why do you have a problem with them?

IronFox still has the same core goals/mission as Mull: to provide a privacy & security-oriented Firefox-based web browser for Android. If IronFox isn’t for you, that’s completely fine - but I’m just perplexed by your reasoning here, and would appreciate any elaboration so that we can improve.

Waterfox contains proprietary Google Play libraries, and doesn’t include any hardening when compared to standard Firefox on Android. It’s a completely different project with a different set of goals than IronFox or Mull.

You would be far better off using standard Firefox over Waterfox, in terms of privacy & security.

See here for our explanation.

We don’t recommend enabling it; you can see our reasoning as to why we don’t enable RFP here - we use a hardened configuration of FPP instead.

We very publicly discussed our approach to fingerprinting and the reasoning for this. But a basic TL;DR is that we’re using a hardened configuration of FPP - which matches all of RFP’s targets, except the few known to cause breakage/be undesirable for users. I’d recommend reading that GitLab issue for a detailed explanation, and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
