Comment on Quick post about AI-free FireFox Based Browsers (Keep your Adds and avoid the Bloat)

If you use fennec on android, I think you can even just copy your config to your phone and have it working the same there.
and where do you copy it on your phone? I think it’s not that simple but maybe I missed something

all data of the firefox is located in /data/data/packgename, which is inaccessible without root permissions. a few android versions ago it was accessible through ADB, not anymore. I don’t think it’s possible anymore to install arkenfox on plain firefox android for most users.
even with a rooted phone its not that easy. granting termux root rights and running su, the per-package data folders are not visible, you have to switch to the correct mount namespace somehow. some file manager apps adapted to be able to do that
