  1. This is the phone I'm talking about that I revived, the on5xelte. Released in 2016. I think we got this when we were in Australia way back then. Passed down from my family and now to me, the caretaker of old, forgotten and dead phones and tablets.

    I installed F-Droid then Termux, some Fossify apps, Ironfox, Rethink app and Open Camera cos I modded it and I didn't put GApps on it so no android webview thingy and deffo no google play services.

    Battery's still good but it uses Micro-USB lmao. I have a ton of Micro-USB cables tho so it was no problem. Screen's still alright, it's just really fucking small for my big bear paws. Volume button's spotty though.

    God, 10 years ago was pretty alright. Phones sucked, computer parts kinda sucked but they were pretty fucking affordable back then.

  5. 🚨 New blog post: When Privacy Tools Fight Each Other – IronFox, Mullvad DNS and Quad9

    In my latest article, I explain how I tracked down the problem, the online tools I used to verify it, why browser-level DNS can override system settings, and the simple change that solved everything.

  7. 🚨 New blog post: When Privacy Tools Fight Each Other – IronFox, Mullvad DNS and Quad9

    I recently ran into a strange issue where websites loaded slowly and HTTPS connections randomly failed in IronFox. At first, I suspected the browser, but the real cause turned out to be a hidden DNS over HTTPS configuration that overrode my Android Private DNS settings.

    In this post, I walk through the troubleshooting process, explain how I discovered IronFox was using Mullvad DNS instead of Quad9, share the tools I used to diagnose the problem, and show the simple fix that restored normal HTTPS connectivity.

    It's a good reminder that adding more privacy layers doesn't always improve your setup—understanding how they interact is just as important.

  13. @norbert Time to upgrade to #Ironfox by @celenity (formerly known as Mull browser) – think Firefox without the bad parts.

  15. How do you get FIDO2 working on Ironfox on an of-the-shelf android (yeah I know... this is the bigger problem)? I can't use `s1m.hwfido2provider` because my device seems to be outdated. And I'm to stupid to setup microG. Any other options?

  16. @celenity I cannot seem to disable #DoH / #DNSoverHTTPS on the latest #IronFox release (not sure about before). Despite changing settings it ways shows a DoH server in use in about:networking#dns even after a fully restarting the app.

    Can you check that out?

    Edit: never mind. The cause was #grapheneOS adding new #VPN interfaces as "always on". 🙄 Ughhh, was almost going crazy.

  18. @rixx I no longer trust Firefox. On Android, I switched to #Ironfox by @celenity. On Linux, I use @librewolf.

  20. For the next #IronFox release, we intend to remove built-in DNS over HTTPS providers that do not have their addresses signed with DNSSEC and/or do not enforce DNSSEC for domains that support it. We're making this change because we believe it's our responsibility to hold the default selection of providers to the highest possible standards, and due to the improvement in privacy and security that it will provide for users.

    The following providers will be impacted:

    - AdGuard
    - AdGuard (Unfiltered)
    - NextDNS
    - Quad9
    - Wikimedia

    Unfortunately, as Quad9 is one of the providers impacted, we intend to switch the default provider for new users to Mullvad (Base).

    If you are currently using any of the effected providers, your choice will be respected, and they will remain your selected DNS provider after updating, though we would strongly recommend switching to one of the other built-in providers if possible.

    We wanted to share this announcement before release to make users aware and get feedback around this change. We look forward to hearing what the community thinks!
