Fennec F-Droid is based on the latest Firefox release (codenamed Fenix). It has proprietary bits and telemetry removed, but still connects to various Mozilla and Google services that can track users.

Edit: Quickly checked an article from Mike Kuketz (german): https://www.kuketz-blog.de/firefox-datensendeverhalten-android-app-f-droid-version-browser-check-teil6/

Fennec contacts mozilla servers to get new lists for the anti fingerprinting and anti tracking technologies. Also xml files with info about vulnarabilities etc. It sends not much.

Google is contacted when you have google as standard search provider and search suggestions active.

Otherwise no tracking etc

I second Mull. Fennec is okay as well.

Your little "for better" will almost certainly morph into including things you don't like given time.

So nothing, huh? Who is constructing a straw man here?

It is really simple. You can't use your rights to violate the rights of other people. That is not your right. There is plenty of room left for discussing all kind of stuff, no matter how controverse or delicate it is. But otherwise some actions performed under "free speech" could even hinder people to use their own right of free speech.

What part in my "giant philosophical post" (lol) is about shutting down opinions I don't like?

There seems to be a rather widespread misconception of the term "free speech". Free speech does not mean that you are allowed to say everything.

Say you work for a government or a company and you know something that is classified. Are you allowed to say that because "free speech"? No, of course not.

Say there is a group of people who wants to kill a person, but they don't know where to find that person. But you know and you tell them. Are you allowed to do that because "free speech"? No, of course not.

Say you're a doctor and you know something about the condition of one of your patients. Are you allowed to post about their illness on social media? No, of course not.

Free Speech is no magic super-right that stands above all other rights. Free speech has to be limited in favor of other rights of other persons, and it is everywhere. There are difference in how much is tolerated, in the US it is pretty much, in Germany holocaust denial is a criminal offense for example.

And that is another reason why you can't have unmoderated social media. Some things are simply not allowed, for better.

No, since every monkey would take a while to finish one book. Even if infinite monkeys would do it at thr same time.

And, if we digg deeper, even infinitly many monkeys could fail in one go, if infinitly many would write the same book and only finitely many another, then they could create only shit books. And as this could happen almost every time, you'd better have an infinite amount of time as well.
