You'll have to set add-ons up as a private collection for them to work, but it's easy as pie.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

Interesting, I'll look deeper into that. They have an adblocking engine as well though and catch a few random ones uBlock doesn't, so I'm not totally convinced they are fully redundant.
You can add lists in ublock..
Yes, and I do, and yet there are still some escapees. Might be a fringe case as I live in Asia, but at least for me it serves a purpose.
Find the escapees, put them on the list or find a list including them for your particular use-case.
I dont have much things getting through, mostly small sites displaying things, so i just add a filter myself.
Afaik Ghostery was bought and started tracking its users.. or was that another popular extension? Happened to alot of these.. pretty sure it was Ghostery?
Mull is similar to Fennec except with some privacy tweaks. Generally Mull is better.
You don't need Ghostery anymore
Ghostery sends like every website you visit to their servers. Its opt-out and Ublock origin is better anyways. Firefox really has a problem of not marking bad addons
Mull works the same as Fennec, except it is hardended with patches from Tor and Arkenfox user.js. No real reason IMO to use fennec over Mull, whose developers also contribute to Fennec. Ghostery also changes your fingerprint, acting as one more data point. Mull has a whole bunch of configured flags to reduce fingerprinting, and many more to help with security (like disabling JIT).
Check here for some comparisons:
Following the pro-Mull comments here I've given it a try for a solid 48h, and just reverted back to Fennec. Mull is simply restricting the user experience too much, and I'm not willing to make the sacrifice.
My biggest annoyances:
I'm aware that those details are suppressed to avoid fingerprinting, and while I believe that the intention is good, it makes using my phone more cumbersome, and that's not something I'm willing to do. So my choices at this point are basically to keep using Mull and deactivate the advanced fingerprinting protection, or use Fennec as before.
I think you might try to bite off more than you can chew here. You keep insisting that you want to somehow see the data that's saved on your device. Why exactly do you want to inspect the local cache of those sites? What do you expect the benefit to be? And what's more: what do you expect such a local cache to look like?
I just want to know which site I am logged in and to remove those data in order to logout
Like on desktop I remove all data from settings of firefox from sites I am not using. Hope I a clear to you
Btw I want to have clear look that data just as on desktop but as addons will provide that data I think It is going to look bad But thats okay
Yeah, okay. So: Clearing Browser cache is a common feature in any webbrowser (even Chrome, and if Chrome has it, everyone has)
Regarding insights into the local cache: Are you technically versed enough to understand what you are seeing? If not, what good would looking at the cache do to you? I mean, whatever is in that cache is no indication about your privacy at all. As @minitycactus found out, Wikipedia logs your last visit. Do they spy on you? Very probably not. Besides, whatever they put into local cache is not something they have on their servers,
I wouldn't put too much energy into a search for that specific feature.
I use Firefox focus for random browsing, normal Firefox for general browsing that I want to keep the history of, and Mull for anything where I want to absolutely minimize tracking / enhance privacy.
Do u use FF sync?
Not usually, I don't find it necessary most of the time. I have a separate pw manager (bitwarden) and if I need to share tabs I just message myself
I use Iceraven with ublock, privacy badger, decentraleyes and canvasblocker.
Not a complete answer, but I stand behind Privacy Browser. The dev has a great blog explaining how the browser works:

https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-android/permissions/
I appreciate the transparency of the Dev and I am looking forward to the long-teased 4.x series that will ship with its own webview.
If you decide not to use it, keep it on your watchlist.
Seconded. It's my default browser and the amount of control it provides is fantastic.
I would say go with either chromite or firefox. Both are private, supported for now, and can block ads (UBO on firefox)
