Considering someone else gave that actual answer, here's something to consider: switching to Waterfox will give you essentially all the benefits of Firefox, but without the bloat, and with some extra privacy features baked in.

This is the way

Given this is mobile, Waterfox is not an option.

Fennec and IronFox are

Are they only pushing to play store? I've never seen them on FDroid

Thought I had loaded it from F-Droid but checked and I installed it with Obtanium from their github @ https://github.com/BrowserWorks/Waterfox-Android

TIL, thanks.

NP! I also have Ironfox and Fennec installed, both from F-Droid. I think any of them make a good replacement for Firefox

I use Waterfox on mobile no problem.

Apparently Waterfox can be installed through Obsidian, which I was unaware of.

I had only checked the FDroid repositories. I do not use Play Store.
