Fair enough, but so far that hasn’t bothered me. I’ve used librewolf for a year which seems to have most of the same hardening and it doesn’t break the particular sites I use.
So far, the only site that didn’t work was bsky and the solution was a simple permission.
I just installed it without difficulty and it apparently auto updates after that but I am interested in the other criticisms. Where did you read them?
Correction. It does.
It looks like Ironfox doesn’t use Firefox sync?
And also if you don’t show email or phone number anywhere, as I don’t either.
I really don’t mind the single spam I’ve gotten so far and I accepted the request just because I enjoy playing with them.
SimpleX seems pretty nice but I had enough trouble converting my family to Signal. Did you there isn’t feature parity between the iOS and Android versions?
Good point, I actually didn’t think of that. But it wasn’t a bot. Anyway, I guess that’s the point of being able to throw away usernames.
I asked him to send me the check and just send it to my address since he had my Signal number. I’m expecting it before Christmas.

It’s pretty private but when I uninstalled the community was getting sparse and notifications were slow. Might be better or worse these days.
Ok, I’ve now had time to check this out. Android Firefox is set to strict Enhanced Tracking Protection which says offers fingerprint protection. If that is capping my refresh rate, then I can’t see it. Scrolling is smooth.
In contrast, Mull is distractingly flashy when scrolling. There is absolutely something different going on here.
Ok, that actually sounds encouraging to me. Honestly, on Android Firefox I don’t see the option for resist fingerprinting. I am using Strict Enhanced Tracking protection but that isn’t affecting refresh. What am I missing?
Does Firefox standard fingerprint resistance include the refresh rate? Because I use Firefox over mull on Android because of the drastic difference when scrolling.
Those are the particular interactions for which I have used usernames. People I know have me in contacts. Also, iirc, if I change usernames in the middle of a conversation that conversation is able to continue until I delete it. Plenty of time to pass on a new name if desired.
And that is exactly why I find it unusable. I have a 120 Hz phone slowed down to a hideous 60 Hz. This is why use Firefox instead of mull.
I don’t disagree with you either. But I think that when people give their phone number to a business they are often unaware of all of the nefarious ways it will be used, whether by ignorance or deception.
My point is just that replaceable usernames are perfect for random people you meet IRL or on the Internet because it’s minimal trouble to disconnect permanently when the time comes.
I have given names to people on the Internet and changed names after our conversation was finished. I think that is much better than giving someone a phone number and much easier to change.
I suppose that’s why you can accept the message or not. I believe they can be reused.
I know it’s intended, but I find it unusable. Report what you want, but disconnect from the actual refresh rate. Best of both worlds.
I used librewolf until there was some concern about them updating in a timely manner.
Now I used Firefox with Phoenix to maybe get the best of both worlds and IronFox on mobile.
