Anyone got a good technical comparison of #firefox focus and ironfox for android? For me focus is the main browser with javascript disabled currently and switching to brave when a site does not work.

I have just seen #ironfox for the first time and would love to learn, in what part it is improving upon firefox (focus to be specific)

Also, for Firefox fans, it is an alternative committed to not slurping user data to train AI and other commercial purposes. The project README lists a lot of IronFox tweaks if you are interested in technical details.

Javascript isn't the biggest threat while browsing related to privacy.
