Why?
I see the web site, but the features listed are common to many other forks. What makes Floorp better than, say, Mull?
Floorp is available on desktop, while Mull is mostly Android
"Mostly?" It's a desktop program available in the Arch repos. Why is it "mostly?"
Omg no. That is "Mullvad Browser" which is a version of Torbrowser with a preinstalled extension and no Tor. Basically an ad project for MullvadVPN, because Librewolf already exists.
Mull is Firefox Mobile + Arkenfox user.js, made by DivestOS developers.
Yes for sure, Mullvad Browser is fine. It is Torbrowser without Tor, I think that makes no sense so I would just use Librewolf with Mullvad VPN systemwide
Huh. TIL.
I use mull on my phone but I can't find it in arch, that would be nice. Do you have a link?
Idk if the ui would be all that nice but you could try a waydroid setup, its pretty seamless
It's in AUR. There's also a
-binversion.https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mullvad-browser
Oh you mean mullvad! They're two different apps.
Yah, someone pointed out my mistake. Ah, well.
If you wanna go for privacy then Mullvad , Tor or Librewolf. But For customization and stuff floorp is good.
