  I use fennec on phone

  f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid

  There is a shiton of browsers for phone but this one is often updated and the icon is cute (the most important feature)

    There is also Firefox Focus which us basically a stripped down fennec. I use it as my default browser with JS disabled.

    Fennec is slow to update actually (because of F-Droid mainly) and also it is NOT comparable to Librewolf.

    Is there a fennec like on desktop? I find librewolf has changed too much for what I want out of a Firefox fork. Websites just did not run the way I expected them to and I could not be arsed to fiddle with all of the different knobs to get them to work.

      Zen is what I use, there’s also Waterfox.

        I liked Zen but it was a nightmare to deal with on multiple devices and dealing with multiple windows broke a lot of the essential stuff like them being unpinned on one window but not the new one but the new one has the original window essential note also as a standard tab. And they kept changing the way you switch between workspaces without the necessary customisation options to change it back and any of the mods that “fixed” those issues would then break unless updating the files manually because their fixes had to be merged into the main repo that zen uses for mods which didn’t happen fast enough. So I gave up and and actually switched to edge briefly for it’s implementation of vertical tabs (which i still think is done the best) until Firefox proper gained a good enough vertical tab implementation and I’ve been there since.

      Install Firefox and disable telemetry, that’s pretty much what Fennec does.

  You can actually host your own firefox sync service. It’s kinda a pain to configure auth but it is entirely possible.
