Why aren't Waterfox or LibreWolf found in F-Droid? (reddthat.com)

Are there any alternative app stores that do list them? I might just go to apkpure to side load, but it's annoying these often-recommended browsers aren't available there.

Alternatively, are there any browsers preexisting in F-Droid any of you recommend?

Just got a phone and just installed lineage OS.

Edit: FOUND IT in case anyone is looking https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox-android/releases list of APKs here

Librewolf doesn't have an android port, full stop. If you want a Librewolf style fork on android use something like Ironfox.

I am not certain if Waterfox has a port on android, though.

+1 for Ironfox

You can manage semi-automatic updates through Obtainium, which is available on F-Droid.

For reference, the GitHub repository you'd add to Obtainium:

I'm using Waterfox on Android since the "privacy friendly ad" thing in FF.
