Best Android Browser (FF)

I would like to ask any Firefox forks that is ideal for Android phones (Preferably Hardened ones if that's an option). Please don't recommend Chromium based browsers.

Would really appreciate it :)

Iron fox?
- Yes, if anyone happens to find Mull instead, it is not updated anymore. Ironfox is sort of replacing it.
  
  Is it trustworthy yet though? Ironfox is very new
- I use Ironfox and have never found cause for complaint. I'm on GrapheneOS which shipped with vanadium but I wanted the adblock and consent-o-matic addins so switched.

Fennec is very good.

IronFox, and Fennec as a backup.
- I found Fennec on Drodify so I will try that. Thanks.
  
  Fennec is not hardened, it removes telemetry. Ironfox is a fork of the discontinued Mull which is hardened.
  You can of course harden Fennec through about:config . Using Ironfox is the better option if that's your goal though. It also has nice features like a toggle to disable SafeBrowsing.

I'm enjoying Fennec.

I used fennec fork of Firefox but I found it slow of loading web pages comparing to usual Firefox on android,they messed something or in configs or in source code that it really making slower.
