And Fennec or Mull on Android.

Does fennec support firefox sync?

Duckduckgo found tracking attempts in mull for me. It hasn't in Firefox. I don't know what makes the difference though.

I'm not sure about Mull because I've never tried it. I use Fennec, which purportedly removes the problematic telemetry, but I'll be honest I've never actually verified this.

I do know some apps instead of removing trackers will replace them with dummy trackers, so I wonder if this might be what duckduckgo is detecting. I don't really know since I also avoid duckduckgo lol

I can't find librewolf in the play store. Is it PC only?

Edit: confirmed PC only, but I'll try it on my laptop

Yes, LibreWolf for PC, Fennec for Android
