This is also true for DivestOS as a whole.

IronFox needs working on...

Just tried to open a link that I found in Google https://community.gopro.com/s/article/HERO13-Black-Pairing-Issue-With-The-Remote?language=fr

Opens an blank page, this link works fine in Mull

[-] limerod@reddthat.com 1 points 3 hours ago

Loads fine on Fennec fdroid. It even translated the page from French to English. Consider reporting this bug to ironfox folks.

[-] mac@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Huh, that's odd. Opens fine for me in IronFox

I just went back to take a screenshot and it decided to break lol

[-] Minty95@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Thanks for the heads up, now trying IronFox though it's not on Fdroid only found it in GitLab

[-] mac@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

Fennec/IronFox both havent released new builds BTW

You may want to look into obtainium to fetch updates from gitlab, if you havent already set that up

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

What is the Fennec URL? I've been searching for 5 minutes with both DDG and Google and can't find it. "Fennec" is a really overloaded word. All I can find is the F-Droid page, not the source. I wanted to try Obtanium for the first time.

[-] Fitik@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

Maybe this is what you're looking for? It's linked to the F-Droid

https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/

That does appear to be the source, but Obtanium needs a Releases page, as far as I can tell, ~~and people only seem to talk about it in relation to github.~~

I found a YouTube video that says it can install from all sorts of places. I'm going to watch it to get the gist of it.

[-] Minty95@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That's what I've done ๐Ÿ‘ update just had an update via Obtainium 08/01

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

What URL do you put in Obtanium?

I found what I think is the source for the fennec patches to the Firefox source code, but there's no releases page. F-Droid still has v133. Where are you finding more recently updated releases?

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Ah, for some reason I assumed you meant Fennec in your original comment. I see now that person you replied to mentioned both.

[-] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 1 points 1 day ago

I thought only one (main) dev was leaving. But that mull and divest woild still be updated?

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Tht one dev is the only dev. They're dead.

[-] hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago

unfortunate, but i haven't yet found a viable alternative.. though tbh i just noticed before i wasn't even running the latest mull build, so lol.

[-] Qkall@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

i saw someone mention fennec in another thread. it's on fdroid and updated a few weeks ago... seems to be wokring okay... but ... like an hour in.

[-] Earflap@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Have heard that DivestOS also made significant contributions to Fennec, so not sure what the future looks like there.

Also, IronFox is a fork of Mull but I need to see long term commitment before I'm willing to change my primary browser.

I'm using Tor browser right now but I'd like not to use Tor long term.

Cromite is unfortunately chrome based, but degoogled and hardened. I keep it updated straight from the github with obtainium. Ive been using both to bypass compatibility issues, but honestly I have more issues with cromite than Mull.

[-] Earflap@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah I'm aware of those but I just dont want to support the Chrome hegemony. Plus Manifest v3, ew.

I found that Tor browser doesnt have and can't install uBo and has terrible ad blocking and weak finger print protection.

I switched to Firefox and went through all the settings to make it more privacy respecting. EFF Cover Your Tracks says my fingerprint protection is strong and I'm blocking all ads, so for now this is what I'm going with until I'm convinced of the long term viability of IronFox.
