This is so so sad, :( I’ve been using Mull for quite some time and recently Hypatia. I guess time to move to fennec since I doubt there’s a fork in the horizon, :(
They didn’t mentioned Mull . What will happen with it? Will it be discontinued,??
Yes
Damn, why?
The Dev stated he’s been working on it for 10 years and says its time to move on
I found this: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/the-end-of-divest/23396/43
I’ve worked on this project a decade. That is a long time and I need to move on in life.
Sounds like a single person maintaining such a large project for such a long time means eventually you have had enough. I get that.
Wow, people fucking suck. Instead of talking about how the project helped or appreciate the dev’s work people started fighting regarding if certain ROM is worth being recommended or not.
As a Carrion user this is very sad, I wonder if there’s something else to replace it
Thank you! I will give it a try
Mull browser is mullvad browser?
Totally unrelated, mull is pretty cool in the sense that it brings arkenfox configs for the user, and it strips some binary blobs. To me the AOSP privacy browser with no actual alternative. Some say it’s like librewolf for AOSP.
Bottom line, no, totally different things.
Awesome thanks. Nobody really totally answered lol
No, Mull browser has nothing to do with Mullvad VPN.
GP probably asked whether Mull was shortname for the Mullvad browser.
Thanks this was what I meant.
Nooooooo Mull is dead now? It’s my default browser.
I hope someone picks it up and forks it like we have Cromite for Bromite.
Wait, Bromite was discontinued too?
I really wish more devs would utilize the “pop up the changelog after update” technique to let users know. There has to be a better way than having to check each project’s individual page and/or discord regularly.
I have never really known the major differences between Mull and Iceraven. I keep them both installed, so I will probably be switching to Iceraven full-time now.
I personally don’t use either of the browsers you mentioned: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/mobile-browsers/
The entire site is “use Chromium reskins”.
Privacy Guides still recommends fucking Brave browser? Brave analyzes your data on your device for ads, which is better than sending it off to Google, but actual privacy browsers don’t analyze your data at all, and their CEO is a piece of shit.
AW man this is sad news, thanks to the dev for all their hard work!
Any recommendations on a browser similar to mull on android?
Fennec is what I’ll be moving to.
It’s truly a shame that no one stepped up to help contribute to the project
Does anyone know a good alternative for Hypatia?
Unsure how reliable this is for other attack vectors, but amnesty Intl has https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt for known Pegasus signatures
Note: this is ran on a computer and scans via adb
No, and simply somebody that know what they’re doing should pick it up. I’d certainly be willing to donate a little, just as I donated to the original project.
The FOSS Android world has a new music player every week, and apparently still only one antivirus.
Antivirus on Android? How does that work? Warden seems a better idea to me.
Hypathia uses the same method as clam-av. It hashes all the files and compares it to a known database of malware. It’s a lot faster than whatever Avast is using.
In fact, it use some of the Clam-AV databases too.
Anyone know Librewolf developers? They should work on a android build now that mull is dead.
thanks for all the hard work to the dev! guess i’ll move from mull to firefox nightly then.
I’m a newb, what’s connection between DivestOS and Mull here? I thought DivestOS was a Linux distro.
DivestOS is a modified version of Android. Mull is an Android browser, fork of Firefox, maintained by the Divest dev.
Wait is support for Mull ceasing?
He mentions that “DivestOS and its apps will not receive any further updates”, and only mentions continuing non-app projects, so I guess so :(
Awwwwh man. Mull is my favourite mobile browser! Hope there will be a fork. I’d love to contribute.
thank u
Hopefully we see some of these projects picked up by others. In a weird way, sometimes these sorts of events end up being exactly what a project needs to get forked/transferred and have even more funding/resources thrown at it.
Ive only recently been utilizing mull, mulch, and hypatia, but they’ve been fantastic. All the best to the devs.
Bummer!!! Sucks for all of us. But I understand the dev wanting to move on with his life. Hope someone takes the reins! I would if I had those skills. DivestOS is such a great project. I was literally about to buy a new phone specifically to run DivestOS.
Aww man now what ?
