Mull Vs Firefox (sh.itjust.works)

I installed the mull browser revently. People who are familiar with this will know that it's a fork of firefox android. It's hardened but I haven't noticed much difference b/w the two. Mull has a few visible tweaks like Https mode by default, strict protection etc. but I haven't come across other backend/not so visible changes. How is it different from firefox android?

It does the canvas anti fingerprinting with it's letterbox style display... Is strict with cross site cookie denial. A few more differences. Check out mulls site. I found it pretty detailed in its explanations

Add to that, no telemetry

True! I was shocked looking at my pihole logs and see how much Firefox phones home for that crap the other day.

For example: Firefox today on my pihole.

Can you turn off privacy features?

I still want most things for convenience, but the one thing I want to get rid of is telemetry and somehow I just can't seem to completely get rid of it with firefox (I've tried both nightly and default firefox)

So a browser that gets rid of all the telemetry and then allows me to enable other things that I want would be fine by me.
