For mobile, I'd recommend Mull instead of Iceraven

Pros:

  • Just like Iceraven, a fork of Fenix
  • incorporates the arkenfox user.js
  • Doesn't have "No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability!" in its project description

Cons:

  • APKs are only on FDroid
  • awful name, no animal reference
  • awful logo color scheme imo - magenta on turquoise is... an interesting choice

Here's a probably somewhat biased but from quickly skimming over it not inaccurate browser comparison by the developer(s) of Mull:

I've tried Mull and went back, but I can't remember why. Iceraven is 'fine' but seems a touch buggy for some builds. I used to use Fennec for a long time, but I think IR allows installing 'unofficial' add-ons that haven't been vetted or whatever by Mozilla for mobile. But I'll have a look see, maybe my issue with Mull has been resolved.

At least the addons part has been mostly resolved - although not all addons are supported, Firefox mobile now has significantly more official addons than before:
