Browsers are the new operating system. Engine independence still matters.

Mull is a Firefox-based Android browser hardened with the Tor uplift and arkenfox patches. It’s geared toward privacy-conscious users who prefer Gecko but want stricter defaults than stock Firefox.

Why consider the swap

If you currently rely on Chrome (mobile) and want more control over data, lower long-term costs, or a open-source licensing model, Mull covers most of the same ground.

What you trade off

Most open-source alternatives require more setup than their commercial counterparts and may lag on polish, mobile apps, or ecosystem integrations. Check the project’s documentation for current feature parity with Chrome (mobile) before committing.
