| mozilla builds firefox for android (fennec). a perfectly functional browser. Then they remove: - dev tools (understandable, but it's weird because it works perfectly if you dont' remove) - the ADDED code to create a list of white-listed extensions! And never updated the list in over a decade! - they prevent you from accessing about:config - they remove 80% of the settings from the settings screen. - They disable user.js and user.css - they add full google suit client library code when they only claim to use the screen cast (which do not require the full client, which is only needed if you also show ads from google network...) - probably many more things - the f-droid build just don't do any of that crap. simply builds and packages and distribute. a perfectly functional browser. With a fully verifiable build too! because you didn't add external binaries and undocumented steps. |
