Beware, the binary .apk's have unreleased patches you can't get from compiling yourself.
That sounds shady. Thank you for the warning. How does one determine that? Also not found on F-droid. Hard pass.
An F-Droid compromise could backdoor every app.

It's gonna be replaced during this year with a complete rewrite. Extension support is coming, but at the moment only uBlock Origin is available.
So to be clear, the existing Firefox on Android which has broad extension support is going to be replaced with a version with less extension support? Why? One of the biggest value adds of Firefox on Android is broad extension support.

I've been using this specifically for its extension support, and I'm just waiting until Firefox Preview can get extension support fully as I use Firefox on the desktop and I'd like for them to sync. I looked at other browsers like Brave but I just cannot trust them.

It sucks? I switched from Chrome last year and am nothing but happy. Who decided it sucks?
I feel like I am back in the late 90s! in the best way! it's super user friendly, just install the app, install extensions like you do on desktop
I type a url or click a link, and what do I get? the content I wanted and nothing else! it's great!
using chrome or those fly-by-night browsers I get a dozen dhtml popups and "whitelisted"-by-the-browser dev ads all over the place. not to mention the own browser popups wanting me to translate from languages I know how to read or if I want to login with my google account on random sites.
PS: the fdroid ESL version of firefox is called by the internal mozilla project name: fennec.

Why can’t you trust Brave?

Replacing ads with their own ads, running a cryptocurrency within the browser. I don't want microtransactions to view sites which I feel like is what Brave is hoping for in the future. I mean, microtransactions are the name of the game in cryptocurrency but doing so for online content is especially egregious.
