That doesn’t help on Android since those forks don’t exist for that platform. There are Firefox Mobile forks for Android like Fennec, but I don’t know if those forks will be forced to keep this “feature” in place.

Waterfox doesn't exist on Android? So what is this browser I'm using? Lol

I didn’t realize Waterfox had been ported, thanks!

Also I don't think they can add any proprietary library like those interacts with google play to fennce, as per f-droid rules.

IronFox uses their own F-Droid repository, meaning I'm pretty sure they can do whatever they want.

Apologies, I was talking about fennce, an official firefox version published on f-droid by Mozilla, not ironfox.

Waterfox is on the play store

Also straight from Github or its own website

Oh derp
I just followed the QR from the web browser

I should get the apk

LibreFox might not exist on Android, but IronFox is a good option at least.
