The Mull browser from F-Droid is a great option, especially if Firefox is your main browser on your computer. It's one of the few mobile browsers with the ability to use extensions, so hopefully this will make utilizing the wallabag extension easier to pull off.

+1 for Mull. Been using it for months now with no issue after switching from Firefox.
What are some of the advantages over the Android Firefox mobile browser? Is it basically a Firefox fork with stricter privacy policies?
Ya, it's a hardened mobile Firefox. I've never used Firefox on mobile, just Mull, so I'm not too sure on the specific differences.
I just use Firefox on my phone
I've used ice raven and mull!
If Firefox doesn't work out I'll give this a chance. Thanks.
Firefox!
Firefox (Fennec on F-Droid) It does support extensions, but they have to be made with mobile support.
You can add unsupported extensions by using custom add-on collection.
I use Bromite from Fdroid and love it. It has a builtin Ad blocker and is basically a degoogled chrome.
I have used Firefox on Android for as long as i can remember. Its worked so good, I dont even think about it. I have uBlock Origin on it, and just enjoy.
Privacy Browser
Yeah, love me some Privacy Browser. JavaScript being disabled by default (which is easy to toggle on/off) is certainly a great feature.
I'm seeing a lot of love for Firefox in here, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks for all of the suggestions!
furryfox ftw
I use Brave, after almost 2 decades of being a Firefox user. But for me Firefox began sucking more and more something like 2 years ago, so I switched browsers on all my devices. No complaints.
Ah, I forgot the mandatory "Fuck Mozilla!"
I used brave and brave search. But then brave search added ads and a pro subscription for 2.99$ to just get rid of the ads. So back to firefox for me.
You can block Brave's ads with Brave itself, by setting Shields to "aggressive". Other than that, you can use a different search engine in Brave. I really don't see the problem here.
I use KiwiBrowsed but i want to switch to fennec because the chromium base of kiwi is bothering me. The only thing that is preventing me from switching is the speed of fennec. Its just not as fast as kiwi.
