Android is now warning of Firefox sharing data
-
Why the dichotomy between the chrome listing on the store then?
No idea, I'm not that obsessed with it. But do note that "The developers of these apps provided info about their data sharing practices to an app store. They may update it over time." and "Data sharing practices may vary based on your app version, use, region, and age."
The recent changes to Firefox terms of use (well, their introduction really) was supposedly meant to appease some regional lawmakers. Maybe it is a regional thing. Maybe they changed it again. Maybe it's, as often with store page update, rolled out progressively to people (in either direction, whether it's adding or removing these terms).
The point is, that's neither a "Google" operation to put Firefox in a bad light, nor a Mozilla operation to… do whatever it is they're doing these days. It's just a regular message. Which, reading a lot of the replies here, is something that have to be said.

The main difference is of philosophy of trust. With F-droid you trust F-droid to build the binary from the developers' source code. With Accrescent, you trust the developers to build the binary from the source code.

Not when using a self-hosted F-Droid Repo - which is the case for Ironfox.

Found this notification this morning on my pixel 6.
Google: "Forcing us to divest Chrome could have impacts on our ability to support Mozilla and their high executive salaries as we own the space with Chrome."
Also Google:

Yeah that's like any 3rd party repository

No GDPR does not require google to display app permissions like that...
Your just making things up.
Show me where I made something up, boss. Or do you not know what "probably" means?

Alright gang, what are some good open source Firefox forks available on Android and Linux?
Waterfox

Fennec is great on Android
I've been pretty happy with it as my casual web search browser, putting all my social media on a different browser. And it's in F-Droid, so that always feels good.

Librewolf for Linux. And ironfox on android

Do you? Because made up satistics are still made up.
This is how misinformation starts.
If your not sure, google it before commenting. For the sanity of the internet.

Do you want the short or the long version?
A link to it will do

Have you read all the other replies? "Google mad", "Google putting Firefox in the dirt", "False info", etc.
I interpret top level comments as responses to OP unless they say something otherwise.

No. Maybe don't just take something that someone you've never met on the internet said might be true as fact? Maybe you should fucking Google it.
I mean seriously, the tone of my comment was pretty clear. Do you really need me to explain the connotations of "probably," and "everything good comes from it"?
I make an off hand comment that is clearly not an attempt to be informative, and you come in all aggressive. Chill the fuck out.

Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. It’s more commonly used in crypto communities.

I'm not saying your doing it intentionally.
Bur it is how it starts.
Edit the person I replied to didn't use probably. Then you came in with a probably statement. That's how miss information starts. People supporting bullshit with "probably"

I personally don't want there to be only one browser engine - Chrome. All other browsers use their engine, or the one powering Firefox. That's actually my main concern. I don't know about you, but Chromium being the only web browser in the world is pretty fuckin scary.

Do you have F-Droid installed? Not to pull a docker, but it is opening for me on 2 separate devices.
You must add the repo first using this link
