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 found Fennec on Drodify so I will try that. Thanks.

Fennec is not hardened, it removes telemetry. Ironfox is a fork of the discontinued Mull which is hardened.

You can of course harden Fennec through about:config . Using Ironfox is the better option if that's your goal though. It also has nice features like a toggle to disable SafeBrowsing.

Yeah, I forgot to say I am also trying IronFox. I just need to figure out how to download it when I have the time along with Fennec.

Currently, you can install IronFox from Accrescent, from your preferred F-Droid client via our F-Droid repository, with Obtainium, or directly from our GitLab releases.
