IronFox is Firefox ESR-based, completely de-Googled, has zero telemetry, and comes pre-hardened for privacy.

IronFox is a fork of Divested Computing Group's Mull Browser, based on Mozilla Firefox. Our goal is to continue the legacy of Mull by providing a free and open source, privacy and security-oriented web browser for daily use.

Version IronFox v140.0.4 released, .apk available for download here.

More discussion about the browser here.

Unfortunately, not available in FDroid yet.

How do you de-google a Firefox ESR-based browser?

Also why is English not allowed for this post on Lemmy?

Probably it just means the configuration defaults that set the search engine have been changed. Honestly, I haven't found a compelling Firefox fork that makes it worth it to put in risk the future of the Mozilla engine they are all based on. I almost feel that using one of the open source WebKit-based browsers out there instead might make more sense at that point. It's been 10+ years since Google moved over to Blink, after all.

About the English thing.. I have no idea, but you are right.

There's also an IronFox community here on lemmy.ml, which I created and find myself moderating; would anyone be interested in taking it over?
