DivestOS Shut down!?!?
DivestOS Shut down!?!?
This is wild because I had never heard of this news anywhere. R.I.P. DivestOS, my favorite mobile OS. Anyone know of a project with a similiar goal of deblobbing android?
You're viewing a single thread.
Yup! I didn't use much of their software but I did like Mull. I'm currently mull-ing over what browser to use next.
I loved Hypatia, its the only floss antivirus for android
Woah, I never knew Hypatia is part of the Divest team. Here I thought I was unaffected by the shutdown... I wonder if they'll keep the av updates coming, since they are provided by ClamAV.
Edit: Looks like the script that converts clamav to hypatia compatible packages is public, I'm tempted to run it myself and host the files on my own server. That way I can just set the database override link within the app to my domain and done.

They said that they would stop updating the database :(
Sucks big time. I just polled the latest available update from the 27th, but I guess that's it then. Will look into preparing my own packages, if I'm successful I will try to host them on github or something and share the link.
This is the way
Fennec obviously
EDiT: The following is eroneous, Tavi isn't the only dev and the project is mainly maintained by two others as the replies to this comment say.
Fennec on fdroid was by the same dev, so dead too.
Its not by the same dev. Tavi seems involved via the git commits but the project seems to mostly involve someone who goes by relan and another called IratePorcupine
I thought fennec was maintained by fdroid, is this not the case?
It is. Not sure what he meant by that.
Not obviously. Fennec doesn't have all the same privacy protections that Mull did. I think Tor is the only browser left that has everything I want but I don't want to use Tor for general purpose browsing.
