Anyone have a decent Android alternative? Updated my phone last night and this morning got a notification that Firefox had full permissions for accessing my location data. I’d like to move away from Firefox before enshitification is in full swing.
Try out Ironfox. It can be installed through F-Droid.
Dope, I’ll give it a go 👍
I switched to waterfox. Looks pretty much the same, no issues so far.
