    Being installable directly from fdroid was what made me use it.

      I’ve been using Firefox install via obtainium straight from the Mozilla repo.

  Mull browser is also available on fdroid. It is an even better (secure) alternative to firefox as it uses some of tor architecture, from what I know.

    I don’t know about tor architecture but it is more hardened

  There’s really no reason to go scrambling for an alternative, it’s a temporary problem.

  You can update Fennec I heard, just not through the regular means.
