Thank you! Is fennec the goto now?

    That's presently what I'm using, but I have added the mull version of the arkenfox user.js via Firefox devtools.

    Fennec does release updates a bit slower than mull did via DivestOS's repo, unfortunately, and doesn't have a build up for these CVE's as of yet. Granted, I don't think FF android has these updates yet, but I feel like I remember Mull's updates making it to my device faster than FF's even, as they didn't need to go through external review processes.

    I think somebody forked it and is calling it IronFox. So you might want to take a look and see if that's correct.

    The dev that supported Mull also made significant contribution to fennec, though it still has it's maintainer, So I'm nervous about fennec's long term suitability.

    Hm...what's the best choice to switch to then? I was under the impression that fennec is less private and secure than mull.

    Someone forked and is maintaining Mull: https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox

    Will have to see long-term if this is a good option of course, as it's not been long.

    I wonder if it'll be added to fdroid or not.
