Android is now warning of Firefox sharing data
-
Found this notification this morning on my pixel 6.
I had already downloaded and installed Ironfox (FF Android fork) on my phone and have been using it for a week or so. It works identically to FF for android. Ublock Origin is working in Ironfox too.

You should just post the articles and videos.
They have been posted.
Edit:
Don’t call me unless I gave you my number
Why would anyone here call you, and how would they even have your number in the first place?

Get ironfox?
fennec vs ironfox opinions?

Does anyone know if Blockada mitigates this problem on Android?

Waterfox works great on Android.

Pretty easy to disable the location app permission or set it to ask every time. Firefox hasn't asked me to enable it since turning it off.
-
Fennec on mobile. LibreWolf on desktop.

How is Mullvad Browser? I know it's based on Firefox but wouldn't imagine they would tolerate this.
Fine. I preferred Fennec over the two for quality of life and ease of use balanced with privacy.

Get ironfox?

Vivaldi is where it’s at
No, it's really not. Fuck chromium of all flavors.
-
That said I’m open to better alternatives. I’m working hard to protect myself.
Fennec. Ironfox. Mullvad. Tor.
-
Like chrome does something different?
Yes, chrome is doing something different. It is even worse!
-
I've not heard of ironfox before this thread! Could you possibly link it? Doesn't seem like it's on FDroid or IzzyOnDroid
You have to add IronFox's repo in F-Droid before you can install it from there. This is their Github link.

Do they share location data without asking though? Google has an incentive to exaggerate.
-
I wonder if they say people should be careful with Chrome
they don't have to! they microsoft explorered that shit

FWIW I'm not seeing this on the Play Store for Firefox 136.0.1 on my Pixel 8a, and I'm not seeing any warnings on Beta or Nightly either:

Do they mean “Firefox can get your location data to pass on to pages you give permission to, who we cannot guarantee won’t share it with advertisers” or “Firefox reserves the right to do a deal to monetise the tantalising firehose of location data coming from your device unless you specifically opt out”?

Well, if there was any doubt before, with the weird ToS p.r. dance they were doing last week, now we know, for sure.
I've already switched to LibreWolf on the desktop. Is there a good non-Firefox browser for Android available?
