IronFox is a fork of Divested Computing Group's Mull Browser, based on Mozilla Firefox. Our goal is to continue the legacy of Mull by providing a free and open source, privacy and security-oriented web browser for daily use.
Congrats and thanks to everyone involved! 💙
I've been using IronFox for a week or two now and added their repo earlier in the week. Haven't noticed any difference from Mull (which is a good thing). It's definitely replaced it for me.
Yep..so far exactly the same experience
Yep, same here.

Anyone can explain to me what happened to Mull?
The developer quit
The DivestOS dude is retiring
Haell yeah! Now I don't have to worry about having to check every so often to see if they've updated by going to their gitlab!
Edit:
Damn! Getting an error 404...
Edit Edit:
I am an idiot. Needed to go to their gitlab to get to find what I was looking for.

You might want to look into Obtainium if you have any other apps you do that with. You add a link to GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, etc. into Obtainium for whichever apps you want to track, and Obtainium will automatically check each source in the background every six hours or whatever.

Get Android app updates straight from the source.
Obtainium allows you to install and update apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.
What did I missed, is Mull bad now??
No longer maintained.
Oh.. Damn that's sad...
DivestOS went EOL : https://divestos.org/pages/news#end
Idk about anyone else, but I get higher bits of identifying information with ironfox on eff cover your tracks, than I did on Mull
My Bitwarden autofill does not work with IronFox even though it did with Mull. When asking to autofill it always looks for login info for org.ironfoxoss.ironfox instead of the actual page. Any ideas?
Maybe bitwarden has a hardcoded list of browsers and defaults to the app id otherwise? There could also be an override, but if not you'd have to open an issue with bitwarden and wait for them to update their list.
Edit:
Looking into the code there is indeed a hardcoded list.
This file contains the code// Docs state that password fields cannot be reliably saved in Compat mode since they will show as // masked values. bool? compatRequest = null; if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= BuildVersionCodes.Q && fillRequest != null) { // Attempt to automatically establish compat request mode on Android 10+ compatRequest = (fillRequest.Flags | FillRequest.FlagCompatibilityModeRequest) == fillRequest.Flags; } var compatBrowser = compatRequest ?? CompatBrowsers.Contains(parser.PackageName);I read this as:
There are browsers that do "native" autofill and ones that do "compat". Mull and ironfox do compat.
This compat support is communicated on Android 10+, but either on older android or maybe if the app is built for older android (?) it won't be communicated, thus the hard coded list.Doesn't look like there is a way for users to add to this list.
Interesting. I have never had an issue using Bitwarden with either Mull or IronFox. I did experience that package ID issue with Mulch (the Chromium version of Mull), but that seemed to have fixed itself at some point somehow. But although all three of those browsers do Bitwarden autofill for me without issue, none are in that hardcoded list.
