I would like to ask any Firefox forks that is ideal for Android phones (Preferably Hardened ones if that's an option). Please don't recommend Chromium based browsers.

Would really appreciate it :)

I use Ironfox and have never found cause for complaint. I'm on GrapheneOS which shipped with vanadium but I wanted the adblock and consent-o-matic addins so switched.

Yes, if anyone happens to find Mull instead, it is not updated anymore. Ironfox is sort of replacing it.

Is it trustworthy yet though? Ironfox is very new

Yeah, it's licensed under the GNU Affero License and therefore you can review the source code and modify it as you see fit. Classic FOSS.

Giving their code a brief once over, their scripts and patches are relatively straight forward with good commenting and their documentation is acceptable imho.

Additionally investigating their defaults in about:config reflect similar defaults in the Librewolf/ Mullvad/Arkenfox defaults that were present in the Mull browser.

Overall Ironfox is about as good a Firefox fork for Android as you're going to find.
