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 is dead too, same dev...

Fennec is not maintained by Divested, but who they actually are maintained by is a mystery. I hear a mix of Mozilla themselves and that it's just firefox with different build scripts. The F-droid page links to everything firefox except the issue tracker, which links to here.

I was wrong. Amended my post. Tavi was just one of the three Devs. The other two put in more commits than him.

There goes all the good forks I guess.

No, I was wrong: fennec on fdroid is good. Sorry about that.
