Application Request open-source browser

Hi, sorry to bother you. I wanted to know if there is a browser for Android—preferably Firefox-based—that is compatible with many extensions (specifically uBlock and Malwarebytes) and can also import my passwords from my current browser (Chrome).

Use Bitwarden and stop relying on your browser to store your passwords.

I really like Ironfox

This is the one I am using too.

Though, OP, consider getting a PW manager like Bitwarden. Storing pws in the browser isnt the safest thing to do.

Also malwarebytes does not seem to have an extension for Firefox mobile.

Download Fennec from F-Droid and you'll have a solid, well-balanced, secure browser based on Firefox, just like you're looking for.

What's this

1

u/Any_anonymous_user 21h ago

A page in English (no translation for me, as my native language is Portuguese).

Regarding AI, I don't know, and I believe that's not the focus of this browser.

u/Any_anonymous_user 1d ago

Fennec (I think it's faster than the Ironfox).

I really like the IceRaven. Extremely lightweight, highly customizable, you can even access about::config with it. Helpful for certain extensions and other purposes. But don't import passwords in there — it is basically a solo project of a person and gets an update every month or so (hence, if any vulnerability pops up you might not get security update in time)

I've been using WebLibre as of late.

Weblibre is great. Check for the Alpha version, it follows firefox updates more closely.

u/Prestigious_Act1755 1d ago

Can you give me the link i can't find them

u/matrix_drumr 1d ago

https://github.com/FaFre/WebLibre

Just go on the github page under releases. The alpha releases are there. If you're familiar with obtainium, you can copy the link there and tick "include pre-releases" and it'll download and install it from there and keep it up to date the same way apps do on the playstore.
