Add android version (main firefox)

Also check Firefox lite

It’s Firefox Focus with a different UI for Indonesian users.

By unpacking the apk I see in /assets/licenses.html

Adjust Android SDK

For me Firefox Klar is maybe worth a look.

BTW even Klar has adjust partnership.

Thank you for the feedback i will look into that ;)

I just checked the different versions they are nice... but i think i will stick with main Firefox for android for the moment... once all the rest will be done i will may be look at focus etc... i did added that to the check list in the first place to see if i can adopt one of those instead of the main Firefox but it's not suitable as many important settings are removed from them like desktop version...

isnt firefox focus chrome based? it would be a completely different browser then

it does a matter for the base the thing is the outcome which is have a fast reliable privacy aware browser for mobile; Andoird will need its own work and development any way.

@elypter thank you for all your feedback and for participating actively in the project i will add you to the thanks you list... i also created an issue for that matter ;) https://github.com/intika/Librefox/issues/59

So we should use Firefox focus on Android? Is it the same? I thought it is chrome based so it calls home I guess.

If you want a privacy aware browser for mobile awaiting Librefox to provide an android version you can use https://www.bromite.org/

@intika thanks for the quick answer. What's the difference between bromite and Firefox focus? Are there any that it's worth using it over Firefox focus?

Firefox to me is faster on mobile compared to chrome (less resources intensive) but when it come to privacy Bromite is way more better... the claims about privacy that are made by Mozilla on android are not clear.

Do you have any proof that focus has less privacy or worse privacy than bromite?

it depend on your needs and how you define privacy, this require a deep technical comparison, feel free to do so :) and choose the application that suit your needs ;)

@elypter Due to the size, around 3 MB, it's most probably based on chrome.

Do you have any proof that focus has less privacy or worse privacy than bromite?

I doubt that in the Play Market, you can find applications that respect privacy, only the presence of the application in the GP is suspicious. Don't be confused by the presence of: smali\com\adjust smali\com\android\installreferrer smali\com\google\android\finsky\externalreferrer in focus?, smali\com\adjust com\leanplum com\google\firebase smali\com\google\android\gms in Firefox for Android?

check both browsers (bromite vs firefox/focus) with it, take the fingerprinting mitigations test, good results showed Firefox for Android along with addons, also recommend: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/ http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=830910&view=findpost&p=64445735

I see you've developed a version for Linux, and already it's in JavaScript. Porting to Android shouldn't be too hard from there. The reason I ask is that I'm only on Android, and I only use Firefox because it has extension support(I use uBlock).

Both ghacks-user.js and pyllyukko user.js are lacking in Android reports, they have focused on the following solutions:

• append the contents of your user.js file to prefs.js

https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/issues/14#issuecomment-366571564

• use remote debugging

https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/issues/318#issuecomment-359181951

Appending user.js is simpler, but who uses remote debugging could surely help...

Get involved, don't let these user.js repos and Librefox behind on Mobile!

Firefox Focus (Klar) uses GeckoView engine. Firefox Lite is a fork, it uses WebView.

This is a must for Android users, like me. It looks and sounds great, but I can't actually use it

@fmilligan can you please develop

@intika I'm not sure on the requirements, but if you give me what you need, I can certainly try

When ready it will be released on the Playstore and F-droid...

Whould like to ask about one feature of it! If planned to develop fennec,- Android fennec version uses 2 different UI for tablet and smartphone types! Please add a switch/key to use that types manually!

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

Firefox Focus, Klar, etc. aren't main Firefox based so they should just be forgotten.

As of now, without a full release, is it possible to apply the files to the Android version? Both rooted or unrooted? And can you link to extension used in librefox? My goal is to attempt to get a librefox like experience. I tried bromite, and did not like it

We only have the official Firefox for Android and Fennec left to review. Fennec seems a little more conservative - by looking at the about:config values - when compared to Firefox for Android.

Isn't fennec also by Mozilla?

Yes.
