    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.

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

        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.

      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.

                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.

                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”?
