I feel like this was important to get out there. I don't know how many of you use DivestOS, but this also applies to the Mull Browser, which was a good browser and a common suggestion due to it being based on Firefox, and therefore not running in Chromium.

Unfortunately, it seems all of this is coming to an end. The software will no longer receive updates, and therefore should not be used anymore. I wish the users of DivestOS-related software luck in finding good replacements.

For a browser at least, Brave has good content blocking and basic protection. Overall, this is a pretty big blow to mobile Firefox.

Browsers, on mobile especially, are very subjective. Here's a table DivestOS provided on their site https://divestos.org/pages/browsers.

For the OS itself, it's probably back to stock :(. I mean, GrapheneOS is always there for pixel users, but most DivestOS users are not running it on a pixel.

      It's now the best chromium web browser on Android unless you're on Graphene, and one of the best on desktop when properly configured

      I think it's because it provides a good level of content blocking and tracking protection while being very easy to use and get into.
