Thanks! I only wish I could use "Bypass Paywalls Clean" on Mull; even if I enable the Iceraven addons it just gives me "Bypass Paywalls for Firefox" which isn't as effective.

EDIT: I was also slightly alarmed recently to discover how many cookies Fennec was retaining; I'd like to be able to keep the one for BH so I don't have to log in every time, and maybe a few others, but not if I have to keep all of them.

I use bypass paywalls clean on Mull by activating the Secret menu and choosing to install add-on from file. Works great for me.

Secret menu is in the About Mull page (tap on the logo 5 times) then back out to the settings pane to see some additional settings items added like install add-on from file.

Excellent! Thank you very much!

I tried switching from Fennec to Mull a couple years ago, but every third site broke with it. So I reinstalled Fennec.

Only real reason I use fennec over mull is mull by default has a fingerprinting setting that, while being better for privacy, locks the app to 60hz and my phone supports 120hz. If 60hz doesn't bother you then I think mull is the better choice. But they're really similar at the end of the day

Mull is a lil more hardened which I like
