This is so so sad, :( I've been using Mull for quite some time and recently Hypatia. I guess time to move to fennec since I doubt there's a fork in the horizon, :(
On New Year's Eve, each of us can radically change our lives, we can only wish him luck.
After a quick look at what I believe is mull's most up to date repo https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/Mull-Fenix
It doesn't appear to be too complex to maintain (only looked at the past 3 or so commits as I'm with fam right now)
Hoping someone continues with the project, as it was, in my opinion, probably the most privacy friendly browser for android other than Tor which has it's usability issues.
I may try to play around with setting up an fdroid build server for the interim after the holidays.
Edit: I wonder if the old maintainer would be open to having some sort of knowledge transfer session?
I'm a newb, what's connection between DivestOS and Mull here? I thought DivestOS was a Linux distro.
DivestOS is a modified version of Android. Mull is an Android browser, fork of Firefox, maintained by the Divest dev.
He mentions that "DivestOS and its apps will not receive any further updates", and only mentions continuing non-app projects, so I guess so :(
Awwwwh man. Mull is my favourite mobile browser! Hope there will be a fork. I'd love to contribute.
thanks for all the hard work to the dev! guess i'll move from mull to firefox nightly then.
Totally unrelated, mull is pretty cool in the sense that it brings arkenfox configs for the user, and it strips some binary blobs. To me the AOSP privacy browser with no actual alternative. Some say it's like librewolf for AOSP.
Bottom line, no, totally different things.
GP probably asked whether Mull was shortname for the Mullvad browser.
Unsure how reliable this is for other attack vectors, but amnesty Intl has https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt for known Pegasus signatures
Note: this is ran on a computer and scans via adb
No, and simply somebody that know what they're doing should pick it up. I'd certainly be willing to donate a little, just as I donated to the original project.
The FOSS Android world has a new music player every week, and apparently still only one antivirus.
Antivirus on Android? How does that work? Warden seems a better idea to me.
