I installed the mull browser revently. People who are familiar with this will know that it’s a fork of firefox android. It’s hardened but I haven’t noticed much difference b/w the two. Mull has a few visible tweaks like Https mode by default, strict protection etc. but I haven’t come across other backend/not so visible changes. How is it different from firefox android?

Mull is as close to LibreWolf as you can get. LibreWolf is desktop only, Mull is Android only.
But I have mull on desktop… And it’s in the Arch repos. We’re talking about the browser, right?
Oh that’s different, Mullvad browser is a cringe chrome browser, don’t bother. Mull is an Android Firefox fork.
Uh, no. Mullvad browser is definitely not based on Chrome or Chromium. It’s based on the Tor browser which is based on Firefox.
Are you talking about Mullvad Browser? That is different than Mull.
That is most certainly the disconnect.
I apologize, I am an idiot. I thought “mull” was short for mullvad.
You are far from the first.
Could you post a link to the package in the Arch repository?
It’s in the AUR, but still officially maintained by mullvad: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=mullvad-browser
That’s the Mullvad Browser. I know that it’s available on Desktop, in fact, it’s only available on Desktop. OP is referring to the Mull browser, which has nothing to do with Mullvad VPN or Mullvad Browser. Mull is a fork of Fennec (Firefox for Android) created by DivestOS. It’s basically Firefox for Android with arkenfox user.js and some other neat privacy tweaks.
