    IronFox is closer to LibreWolf in terms of goals than it is to IceCat, but it does seem to be the closest Android browser (at least of what I've tried so far) to what IceCat is on the desktop.

    Comments about Microsoft Edge as an Alternative to GNU IceCat

    I stand corrected: Chrome isn't the polar opposite to IceCat. Edge is. Not just surveillance advertising, but tons of clutter and even more of a push for vendor lock-in.
