Between this and the AI chatbot shit they've added to desktop I'm a bit annoyed with Firefox lately

Are fennec and librewolf still good alternatives as non-chromium based browsers?

I had to uninstall fennec a year ago when f-droid said it was not safe because of a delay in updates or something like that.

Librewolf is great. No complaints whatsoever.

On Android Iceraven is the one I'm using since ~~Fennec~~ Mull has been abandoned (I never used Fennec). On PC I do have Librewolf installed but I use Zen which is miles better than default Firefox.

Zen has become my default as well

The latest version of Fennec in F-droid is less than two days old.

Yeah you're right I mixed it up with Mull which was discontinued.

I'll check out Ice Raven, but Fennec is not abandoned, it's been being updated.

I just got an update like two days ago for the build on my phone

Oh you're right I mixed it up with Mull which was discontinued. Sorry for that.

Those are what I use on mobile and desktop respectively

There's also Ironfox which is a (spiritual?) successor to Mull and it gets consistent updates

It is, unfortunately, I was using it as my primary browser on my phone for a while.

This is their github page:
