It actually was pretty easy. All I did was install Fennec and then tweak a few settings.

  • I switched the browsing protection to strict

  • I installed ublock origin

  • I went to about:config and enabled resist fingerprinting

I ran some fingerprinting tests and my slightly modified Fennec performs about the same as Mull

They're already off. The Fennec builds on F-Droid apparently don't even have the option to turn telemetry on -- it's not in the build.

Go to about:telemetry in the URL bar and it should say that telemetry upload is disabled.
