What’s the browseraudit.com score of using it?

It would be perfect except that the fingerprint protection includes forcing the screen refresh rate to the lowest common denominator. Scrolling is unbearable.

They need to report whatever number they want while always using the highest rate instead.

it’s worth noting that this is the intended behaviour for privacy.resistFingerprinting. this is not exclusive to Mull.

Does Firefox standard fingerprint resistance include the refresh rate? Because I use Firefox over mull on Android because of the drastic difference when scrolling.

yes, if you enable resist fingerprinting on any Firefox build it will cap refresh rate to 60hz. Mull is not doing anything special, it’s just changing about:config options by default.

you can disable resist fingerprinting in mull and regain standard refresh rate (although you lose fingerprinting protection) just as you can enable resistFingerprinting in Firefox beta or nightly and see refresh rate cap at 60.

I know it’s intended, but I find it unusable. Report what you want, but disconnect from the actual refresh rate. Best of both worlds.

I wholly agree with you there, I’m just saying it’s the same behavior on all browsers built on Firefox. true for desktop as well

I use it as a daily driver, but sometimes it’s do slow I want to use chromium (cromite) again. I have a website open, I turn off the screen and immediately turn it back on, and the page takes several seconds to load again. And sometimes, it doesn’t even load at all and it’s just grey. Same thing happens when I switch to another app from Mull. It’s annoying, but the extensions and privacy are still worth it.

I posted a similar issue. Apparently its Firefox related and all FF browses will have this issue for you. Cromium works as its crome based, not ff.

I use Mull as my daily driver. It works well. It tends to break some sites, so I keep Fennec as a backup.
