LibreWolf is a great privacy oriented Browser for desktop. But there is no version for android or IOS . There are some like mull but they have their own problems. Mobile phones stay with us most of the day. So we need extra privacy for it.

        ok but like… telemetry is not automatically bad. a vast majority of users never report bugs in software, and are trained to just click through popups. this means the bugs don’t get fixed, and the crash reports don’t get sent.

        scrutinizing what actually gets sent from your browser is how you keep yourself safe, blocking all telemetry is how you get unpatched security holes.

          But not everyone likes it. And people who use these foeked versions instead of the play store version are smart enough to do bug reports

            they are probably also smart enough to know how to toggle the telemetry off with the setting exposed by the browser.

              Turning off telemetry in setting doesn’t always work. If you see dns logs you can find bunch of domains that your Browser is connecting
