What does Fennec even do?

When I tried to look into it a few weeks ago I found very little information. The links on the f-droid page went to Mozilla repo's.

    This is the repo. It has a very small description of the project. https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild

    The F-Droid page is, for better and for worse, the place with the most information about the project. https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/

    The reason I first used it was they had a way to bypass the limited list of extensions that Mozilla allowed to be installed but this is no longer an issue so no real idea what the benefit is anymore. I'd guess at disabled telemetry but don't quote me on that.

    I switched to Ironfox a while back but still keep fennec around for the occasional site that Ironfox breaks.
