For Android users seeking a privacy-focused browser, Privacy Guides recommends Mull:

Mull is a privacy oriented and deblobbed Android browser based on Firefox. Compared to Firefox, it offers much greater fingerprinting protection out of the box, and disables JavaScript Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation for enhanced security. It also removes all proprietary elements from Firefox, such as replacing Google Play Services references.

Mull enables many features upstreamed by the Tor uplift project using preferences from Arkenfox. Proprietary blobs are removed from Mozilla’s code using the scripts developed for Fennec F-Droid.

    Neat! Just gave it a try and it’s much better now, one issue I miss is you can’t swipe (left right) on the address bar to go to the next/prev tab

      You’ll find that under settings -> customise -> swipe address bar sideways to switch tabs

        Maybe on android but not on iOS

        Plus if you don’t have any next tab the swipe creates a new tab instead

          Unless you use the synchronization features of Firefox, I think it would be best to use safari on IOS.

          At least until they bring their own engine to the OS.

          My reasoning: None offer content blocking, you get better fingerprinting protection with safari and you have one less application.

            Safari offers ad blocking on iOS. You just have to get your extensions through the App Store. But other browsers don’t (yet).
