Why not using Firefox, Firefox Focus or Brave?
Because Mull is hardened Firefox without telemetry. Brave is Chromium based and the company is shady.
How? It's not on F-Droid. Play store is obviously not an option for a person, who cares about privacy.
Why not go directly to the source?

Imagine you have lots of toys, like your favorite games and cool apps on your tablet or phone. If you had to update them manually, it's like having to go to each toy, take it apart, fix anything that's broken, and then put it back together every time there's a new version or improvement.
Now, think about having a special toy store for your toys. When you go to the store, they already know about any new cool features or fixes for your toys. All you have to do is ask the store to update your toys, and they make sure all your toys get the latest and greatest stuff without you having to do anything.
So, having a store for apps is like having a magical place where all your toys can be fixed and improved automatically, without you having to do the hard work of updating each one by yourself. It saves you time and makes sure your toys are always the best they can be!
Obtainium is your magical toy store

I'm glad that wizards keep pushing boundaries of magic.
Yeah, you loose auto updates but just saying there is a way if you don't want to use other options.
U did not readed it well. As firefox on android do not have sandboxing and segregation things It cant give individual websites permissions like js cookie etc. Firefox due to same reason cannot tell about WHICH SITE IS SAVING WHAT DATA ON MY DEVICE.I need to know that info so I am asking for any solution but as per what I know there are no solutions
Sorry for poor english
This makes no sense. Firefox with noscript and "forgetmenot" can selectively allow Javascript per domain, and to save cookies.
This cookie quick manager is probably an extension you want.

This is a custom addon collection, I will add cookie quick manager if its missing
Thanks this is exact thing I was looking for. A bit more explanation
Use noscript and ublock to control what gets to your browser and what gets executed there. Noscript is so underrated, its literally the best way to remove tracking. All these superficial blockers cant reach manual opt-in for javascript, selected by origin.
Forgetmenot replaces firefox desktop functionality, but does even more.
Out of context but do u use ff sync or not?
Yes its great. Biggest reason why Chromium is not an option, apart from UserChrome.css, user.js, many addons and an addon store not by google not requiring an account
