Hell yeah shoutout to alternativeto.net! Fucking great site.

Really hate how iOS has zero alternatives. Thanks apple for your stupid WebKit.

Could be worse, seriously. Safari is not a bad browser and WebKit is the only engine since years that can keep up with chromium. I get that it is annoying to have leas freedom on iOS, but I also appreciate the increased security[1] and quality of life that comes with it.

[1] yes, I am aware that open source software tends to be more secure, as it can be reviewed by all. However, Android by default is way less secure than iOS, unless you use GraphiteOS or similar.

Safari on iOS is especially tolerable since they allowed uBlock Origin Lite onto the App Store recently.

Any blob checks?

[–] Solenopsis@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Are there any plans to make a mobile browser?

Thanks for link. I just installed.

Also, just wondering if you had any trouble with Google blobs or other privacy / security issues with this browser?

Looking good so far but can't move my bookmark.html from old browser because I can't find Ironfox's location for it. No biggie.

Sorry if I'm necroing this. No issue, works almost as a regular firefox, IIRC it is a fork of the browser developed for Divest OS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivestOS), maybe it had another name back then, oh yeah it was called Mull (https://github.com/divested-mobile)

Impressive how management can blindly ignore their own core pricipals.
