Hey people.

i recently heard rumors that Fennec is not updated properly anymore/not secure.

I don't really know what's going on (since the last update on f-droid is from 9.4.25) but am now unsure if its still the right choice.

What I like about fennec:

  • -tuned version of firefox
  • -not based on chrome
  • -supports ad ons
  • -possible to play YouTube while phone locked.

Just wanted to hear if someone can confirm the rumors of not being as privacy friendly / safe anymore and if so suggest privacy friendly alternatives, preferable not loosing the things I like.
