But that's pretty much exactly what this is? Just some random unlockable phone with rebadged lineage on it...

Maybe some of them are, but I think most of the down votes are just from people who recognise this as an obvious scam

Why? It's pretty much just dropshipping some year old low end chineseum phone with rebranded lineageos. I could probably do that by April starting now...

Doesn't want people to see his botched hair implants

Hopefully, but it is a huge project, it is really hard to overstate just how much work it is. There are a few hundred very good programmers working on FF full-time at Mozilla. To be a community project it would have to be thousands of people.

The forks only keep existing thanks to Mozilla development, they can't actually maintain a browser engine, just tidy up a bit around the edges. If people drop Firefox altogether and it dies, so do the forks. Not saying that it's wrong to do that. But it makes me worried for the future.

Graphene is absolutely the best choice for that exact situation, please do look into it more. It is far ahead of anything else for enabling you to stay safe. You do still have to make sure to set it up correctly, which takes some careful reading, but the instructions are out there.

You can stretch an r if you roll it

to be able to serve ads it has to track you to some extent

Yeah but this is just a lie, they just choose advertising providers that work like that

Can you fiddle up a weird black screen with lots of $ and # symbols? Yes, its a Unix and its probably Linux.

You heard it here first folks, windows is a Unix and probably Linux!

They were probably named that by guys from northern Ireland...
