Title basically. I want to know what are the differences and which is the best in terms of privacy. Also, F-Droid says that Fennec tracks your activity, is it true?

Resist Fingerprinting is a firefox feature that Mull enables. RFP is the cause of 60fps limit.

Mull strongly recommends you don't turn it off.

But you can. I use a toggle to fix certain websites that won't work otherwise. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-resist-fingerprinting/

Mull has an additional caveat as of 2023-09-14 ; password managers whitelist browsers for autofill, and 1Password hasn't whitelisted Mull yet. Bitwarden does. Others: I don't know.
