It's sad to see one of FOSS project to make web browsing experience became better is in abandonedware.
It's kinda same like Eternity, super rarely get new update although it has many customization compared to other lemmy apps. Sometimes I wonder why no one fork it and make it better ?

Mull was the only browser on my phone, which was more than enough for me, never encountered a problem with it and haven't had to use another browser for the past two years.

If itβs open source wonβt anyone pickup the project and continue support?

That's super sad, I've been using Mull exclusively on my phone :(
What's a good non-chromium alternative? Fennec?

Fennec is the only one still in development.
There are some discussions to fork librewolf to android but nothing is official yet.
I also came across Ironfox which is a mull fork, but everything still so vague about it

I'd be over the moon to have librewolf on android, but that does suck that we lost mull

I'm still hoping for a fork sometime in the future, but I guess we'll see. For now I'm back on fennec. I wish the developer all the best of course, I just wish there had been a bit more warning :/

Developer wasn't getting enough funding / overloaded and wanted to stop working on Divest OS and all apps including Mull.

Why the fuck? I looked at their website and it literally just says "yeah we made it so much great stuff 10 years now we quit goodbye"β¦ what?
I'm gonna preface this with "Holy fuck I don't think I can convert this to a great comment"
I have to wonder if its possible to make these people understand the difference between hiring someone where their name or skin colour shouldn't be a factor, vs hiring someone because they have a work visa and are easier to abuse (not the exact right word I'm looking for, but close enough).
Like yeah there's probably less white guys being hired at big tech companies these days, and I don't think its the big friendly diversity thing companies are pushing, but rather let's fuck over contract workers and foreign workers.
Idk maybe they're just to brain washed into the "They took er jerbs" mindset. I have to hope someone out there can help deprogram these silicon valley idiots.

is this for the privacy nuts? I was about to recommend Firefox but that would be far far far far too obvious and an ill fit when you want uncompromising privacy even at the cost of ease of use

Personally for me privacy isn't why i don't use firefox, this is

You can give waterfox a shot. It's back to being independent and is stable now, has long track record, unlimited extensions, unlocked about:config and isn't affected by mozilla's bulshit.

Wow, guess it's time to say goodbye to an old friend. :(
Using Fennec now, but I tried out Iceraven and it seems like a solid alternative as well. Last update was a month ago, so seems to be active.
I used to use Fulguris. Thought it was dead (last update 9 months), but I see the github owner replied to issues yesterday. It just had a lot of site compatibility issues.
