IronFox' readme does a poor job explaining how to install this app via F-Droid. IronFox is not yet part of F-Droid's own package repository. So you have to add IronFox's F-Droid repo before you can install IronFox.

Opening this link in F-Droid allows you to add their repo:

We recommend #IronFox as a cleaned up Firefox fork for Android. It supports about:config, too.

@Vincent@feddit.nl Disabled in the sidebar or in about:config?

According to our tests, vanilla Firefox has browser.ml.chat.enabled = true by default.

This is how to disable the new “AI” chatbot in #Firefox:

  • type about:config into the awesome bar
  • skip the warning for first time modders
  • locate the browser.ml.chat.enabled setting and set it to false

In the #Librewolf fork, a thoughtful person has already done this for you.

(HT to @kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de for the hint!)
