IronFox is the community-maintained successor to Mull, the hardened Firefox-based browser that shipped with DivestOS before that project was discontinued. It strips telemetry and Mozilla data-collection hooks from Firefox for Android and ships with content blocking enabled by default.

A hardened pick. Worth the effort once you have chosen to shrink your footprint on purpose. Enough for most people. Threat levels

Our take

If you used Mull and want to stay on a hardened Firefox for Android, IronFox is the natural continuation. The hardening patches and privacy-focused defaults give it a meaningful edge over vanilla Firefox for Android, and the open license means the community can audit and maintain it independently. The main catch is a small developer base: a project this size depends on sustained volunteer effort, so watch the release cadence before committing fully. Power users and GrapheneOS or CalyxOS runners are the obvious audience; casual users may find the configuration surface more than they need.
