I have the firefox app but its not on f droid while fennec is, what gives? And should I be using fennec instead
minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up13·edit-210 months agoYeah, the official Firefox build unfortunately depends on some proprietary libraries, which are removed by Fennec. Fennec is just a collection of patches to remove that from the official Firefox repo: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild Generally, I would recommend using Fennec, yes. If you want the official Firefox builds without using the Play Store, FFUpdater is useful: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater/
