    It’s my understanding that forks like librewolf and waterfox won’t be keeping this in for those of us that moved over when mozilla started changing its stripes should remain free from this particular anti feature.

      That doesn’t help on Android since those forks don’t exist for that platform. There are Firefox Mobile forks for Android like Fennec, but I don’t know if those forks will be forced to keep this “feature” in place.

        LibreFox might not exist on Android, but IronFox is a good option at least.

          Also I don’t think they can add any proprietary library like those interacts with google play to fennce, as per f-droid rules.

            IronFox uses their own F-Droid repository, meaning I’m pretty sure they can do whatever they want.

              Apologies, I was talking about fennce, an official firefox version published on f-droid by Mozilla, not ironfox.
