So I can run uBlock origin on Firefox for Android? That'd be great. On desktop I am running LibreWolf. I hope one day I can run such Firefox versions on Android.

Firefox for android has supported ublock origin for ages
It does? thanks for letting me know, was not aware of this. I've been using DuckDuckGo privacy browser because I like to rely on the F-droid app store and sadly Firefox is not available there.
If you install fennec from f-droid it's the same thing as Firefox and provided by Mozilla.
Mull is an other good option, and available from f-droid.
Switched to Mull first but it's rather buggy on my device. Been using Fennec now and I really like it! Thanks for the recommendations
Mull is a (privacy tuned) fork of Firefox for Android, supports ublock origin and is on F-Droid. I've used it for a long time. Highly recommended.
Firefox on Android should be opened up entirely. Right now I use Mull which is mostly free
Unless I am misunderstanding you, it is, on Dec 14.
Extensions just have to specify they are compatible.
I was talking about the source code for the browser
It is opensource. The only thing that aren't are some required Google Play libraries for notifications and the EME - Firefox can't make those open as it doesn't control them.
That's not enough. I want something that doesn't have any non-free software, period. It would be one think if it was just a matter of removing some notification libraries but the proprietary software is so tightly integrated that even Mull isn't completely free
This should be fun :)
