      I’m on grapheneOS using Ironfox (fork of Mull because it’s been killed off), I should be safe, right?

        No. They are fingerprinting you when you use Google services, including Google ads on other sites.

          IronFox enabled RFP. I’m guessing it is somewhat safe. Either that or Brave Browser but I understand if you prefer avoid using Eich’s software.

          I wonder how it is deployed. If client side then uBlock Origin or NoScript might avoid.

        They killed off Mull? Bummer.

          The whole DivestOS project was ended, together with its apps :(

            Is Mull VPN included in that? I’m not familiar with DivestOS.

            I just updated the app yesterday, hopefully that’s not the last one…

            Edit: I meant “MullvadVPN”

              You may be confusing it with Mullvad VPN, which is an entirely unrelated company, and yes, it is going just fine.

                Ah OK, got it. I was under the impression that MullvadVPN and Mull Browser were made by the same people.

                  Mullvad also has their own browser with very instrusive ads about their vpn. Even if i used Mullvad VPN, i wouldn’'t use their browser

                    OK, so according to google, Mullvad Browser is a privacy-based browser, and “Mull Browser” is not a recognized term.

                    Do you have a link to where I can read more about “Mull Browser”?

                  This sounds like the WP Engine debate.

                    About that. I heard somewhere wordpress.com and wordpress.org are seperste entities, one for-profit and the other not, but Wikipedia doesn’t mention why they share the same name.
