So now what will I run on my one plus one? ಥ_ಥ
I dunno how the guy managed this for 10 years for so many devices. I can't even build my own ROM for just this phone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They didn't mentioned Mull . What will happen with it? Will it be discontinued,??
Yes
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/
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
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
Damn, why?
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.
The Dev stated he's been working on it for 10 years and says its time to move on
This is a terrible day for rain
thanks for all the hard work to the dev! guess i'll move from mull to firefox nightly then.
Aww man now what ?
Does anyone know a good alternative for Hypatia?
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.
As a Carrion user this is very sad, I wonder if there's something else to replace it
Mull browser is mullvad browser?
No, Mull browser has nothing to do with Mullvad VPN.
