Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

So if you don’t want to use a chromium based browser but also care about privacy, you’re now fucked?

Firefox is open-source. Certainly, you're out of options in terms of "name-brand" browsers, but there's a number of Firefox forks. On desktop, LibreWolf is the closest thing to mainline and on Android, IronFox is the equivalent.

If you want something more than just "Firefox minus the branding and tracking", some of the deeper forks are Zen Browser and Floorp.

Do any of these also have an Android equivalent? I liked being able to browse on my phone and continue on my desktop and vice versa.
