For Android users seeking a privacy-focused browser, Privacy Guides recommends Mull:

Mull is a privacy oriented and deblobbed Android browser based on Firefox. Compared to Firefox, it offers much greater fingerprinting protection out of the box, and disables JavaScript Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation for enhanced security. It also removes all proprietary elements from Firefox, such as replacing Google Play Services references.

Mull enables many features upstreamed by the Tor uplift project using preferences from Arkenfox. Proprietary blobs are removed from Mozilla's code using the scripts developed for Fennec F-Droid.

Like the home icon at top left? I don't get your point. Using fennec.

And you can't customize where that home button does, making it useless. You can not set it to a specific URL, I want to set it to the dashboard page that I selfhost that shows me status of different things I want to see, gives me access to all my services, and has all my favorite links on it.

The same button is also there in stock Firefox. Im not sure what the OP was on about

That home button is not able to be set to a specific URL making it useless to me.

Thats an interesting point, hadnt thought about that. Its probably the start page youd have to change.. i know you can do it on desktop...

Yeah, on desktop you can, I've used Firefox on desktop since it was called Phoenix and never used anything else... 20+ years. Firefox mobile is not usable to my workflows without a functional home button.

Usually people complain about removing it, don't understand what op meant

Makes sense. You could check out Foss browser
