On Linux and Android. What are privacy oriented alternatives to Firefox now that it's no longer trustworthy?

The ability to sync between devices would be a huge bonus, even just on a local network.

If you want to keep the Gecko Engine from Mozilla to support an alternative to Google's monopoly here are a couple alternative for Linux :

  • Librewolf
  • Mullvad Browser
  • Zen Browser

For Android you have to be aware that unfortunately every firefox based browser lack of per-site isolation unlike chromium browsers.

  • IronFox (active fork of Mull by DivestOS)
  • Fennec

On the dark side of the spectrum you have chromium browser such as :

  • Brave (Linux & Android) (disable cryptocrap, sponsor backgrounds and it's quite good)
  • Cromite (Android)

Yes, I learned that thanks to DivestOS which was comming with Mull, they had a comparison table and yes no FF based browser support that basic security feature yet...
