   I guess #fennec has fallen behind a little bit in updates so I've removed it from my phone. I use #firefox on the desktop. Is there any reason not to use it on #android? I only used that particular fork out of inertia.

     @hobbsc Some facts on a German site. Maybe the translator does it nice. :)

     In my opinion with a bit of fiddling (like on the desktop version too) mobile firefox is fine.

     @morph @hobbsc
     I'm testing FOSS Browser as default App and Styx Browser from F-droid. To get Styx you need to add the Izzy repository, it is a normal looking clean browser. FOSS Browser takes some getting used to. No liability for that tips!

     @morph a note on my german: it was the first language i tried to learn outside of english because my parents lived there for some time (military). i tried a bit as a kid and then had some classes in college. it all came together for me when i was in croatia last year, got separated from my friends, couldn't speak croatian but luckily i bumped into some friendly germans who thought i was from berlin because of my attire and blue mohawk 😆 i knew *just* enough to figure out where my friends went!

     @vegos_f06 On an older phone I had the FOSS browser for a while. It was fast.

     @morph Yes, but they reinvented the GUI wheel.

     @jezra But the FF updater is on f-droid to pull it from GitHub.

     @hobbsc interesting. I thought Fennec *was* FF for Android, but that is not so. Too bad FF isn't available in FDroid.

     @morph it's a darn shame that icon doesn't show up when searching for 'firefox'.
     
     probably a trademark issue.
