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.
Fennec is still updated within a day of official update by the maintainer. It’s usually the fdroid build process that takes a week or more to release the app.
F-Droid really need a priority based build workflow for security sensitive apps.
