I want to find or contribute to an open source Android app that behaves as a browser so that I can incorporate saving web pages to a specified (self-hosted) wallabag docker instance. Any suggestions?

The Mull browser from F-Droid is a great option, especially if Firefox is your main browser on your computer. It's one of the few mobile browsers with the ability to use extensions, so hopefully this will make utilizing the wallabag extension easier to pull off.

What are some of the advantages over the Android Firefox mobile browser? Is it basically a Firefox fork with stricter privacy policies?

Ya, it's a hardened mobile Firefox. I've never used Firefox on mobile, just Mull, so I'm not too sure on the specific differences.

+1 for Mull. Been using it for months now with no issue after switching from Firefox.

If Firefox doesn't work out I'll give this a chance. Thanks.

I use Bromite from Fdroid and love it. It has a builtin Ad blocker and is basically a degoogled chrome.

I'm seeing a lot of love for Firefox in here, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Firefox (Fennec on F-Droid) It does support extensions, but they have to be made with mobile support. Tampermonkey works already i think

You can add unsupported extensions by using custom add-on collection.

I use KiwiBrowsed but i want to switch to fennec because the chromium base of kiwi is bothering me. The only thing that is preventing me from switching is the speed of fennec. Its just not as fast as kiwi.
