What's the story behind this?
I'm not sure exactly how far back you need me to go:
- Mozilla made Firefox for Android
- Divested Computing Group (developer behind DivestOS) forked it into Mull (which is completely unrelated to Mullvad)
- The privacy community largely considered Mull to be their mobile browser of choice due to its out-of-the-box focus on privacy
- Just this month, Divested Computing Group announced that they will be ceasing development on all of their projects
- IronFox was soon forked from Mull, aiming to continue its goals of focusing on privacy
- Until now, the only official way to install IronFox was by downloading the APK directly from their git repo (or building it from source, I guess). Now that the developer has set up an F-Droid repo, one can add that repo to their F-Droid app and allow F-Droid to manage downloading/installing/updating IronFox
This is great. Nature is healing
Good news!
