Now that DivestOS has stopped development,
Anniversary and Final Update¶
Notes from Tavi
December marks 10 years of DivestOS!
There were over 7,000 git commits created in this time.
I believe the projects were highly successful in their goals, however this month will mark the end.
DivestOS and its apps will not receive any further updates.
Hypatia and Carrion will no longer receive database updates.
The non-mobile Divested projects (eg. Brace, D-WRT, real-ucode, and DNS blocklists) will continue to be maintained.
Most of our forum threads will be closed and the DivestOS XMPP chat rooms will also be turned off.
Donations will no longer be accepted and all recurring donations will be cancelled.
Thank you to all the users, contributors, and donors for this time. -Tavi

All apps (including mull) created are no longer maintained. Has anyone looked into other privacy hardened browsers?

ICMI there’s a fork of Mull available: IronFox OSS / IronFox · GitLab . The project is in the early stages but it worth to keep an eye on it. One of the devs is the mantainer of Phoenix, a suite of configurations & advanced modifications for Mozilla Firefox, designed to put the user first - with a focus on privacy, security, freedom, & usability. https://phoenix.celenity.dev
The fossdroid subreddit suggested ironfox, but has anyone looked over the code?

Honestly only other real option I’m aware of is Firefox. It does require you to adjust settings and install some add-ons. But so far I haven’t found another android firefox fork browser with similar functionality to mull that I’d “trust”. I’m not aware of any audits done on IronFox and don’t really have the time to look over it myself.
Beyond that others options are DuckDuckGo’s browser. It seems to have decent privacy protection/policy. And I’ve heard that cromite is decent, but haven’t looked into that one so I’d do due diligence on it.

I really don’t want to go back to Firefox, fennec is a option, but I want >2 user profiles
Honestly I’d use mullvad or Tor browser before I use duck duck go
So far fennec seems to meet my criteria

Hi all, With DivestOS’ demise taking Mull with it, I’m looking for a new privacy focused browser for Android. I’ve shifted to Fennec for now, but I was wondering if there was anything more in line with Mull or Librewolf(Win). That said, I’m...

Currently, including myself, there’s 4 of us working on it. We’re still discussing how to handle funding internally; but for the time being, as we start out, we’re just self-financing. We’re going to consider taking donations in the future. Why...
