This is wild because I had never heard of this news anywhere. R.I.P. DivestOS, my favorite mobile OS. Anyone know of a project with a similiar goal of deblobbing android?

EDiT: The following is eroneous, Tavi isn't the only dev and the project is mainly maintained by two others as the replies to this comment say.

Fennec on fdroid was by the same dev, so dead too.

Its not by the same dev. Tavi seems involved via the git commits but the project seems to mostly involve someone who goes by relan and another called IratePorcupine

I thought fennec was maintained by fdroid, is this not the case?

Not obviously. Fennec doesn't have all the same privacy protections that Mull did. I think Tor is the only browser left that has everything I want but I don't want to use Tor for general purpose browsing.
