I second Mull. Fennec is okay as well.
fennec still phones home to google and Mozilla tho no? at least according to fdroid. guessing less than ff tho right?
Edit: Quickly checked an article from Mike Kuketz (german): https://www.kuketz-blog.de/firefox-datensendeverhalten-android-app-f-droid-version-browser-check-teil6/
Fennec contacts mozilla servers to get new lists for the anti fingerprinting and anti tracking technologies. Also xml files with info about vulnarabilities etc. It sends not much.
Google is contacted when you have google as standard search provider and search suggestions active.
Otherwise no tracking etc
cool. can't lie, the mull icom pushed me away a bit too, this one is super cute lol. ty
