Is it straight Firefox release minus the bits admitted to be removed?. Why do I ask? Because the iodé-Browser download .apk increased from 155MB v. 15.3.0-iode.166, to 250MB v. 15.3.0-iode.169. Yes, its probably extra models for added languages in the translation engine, but I’d like to see what in writing from an official source. Trying to follow the links from ioDroid, or inside the app, leads nowhere satisfying.
Related question: is there an iodé-Browser-lite, without the on device AI? Just my opinion, but that’s bloatware. I mean, Shake to Summarise?
It used to be here: https://gitlab.iode.tech/os/apps/iodebrowser
But at the moment it’s not accesible, idk why.
I had seen those gitlab pages, seems frozen, no activity for 2 years.
iodé Browser > Settings > About says:
iodé Browser is produced by Mozilla
Firefox (Android) is now 267MB download from Aurora. It must be all the spell-checkers,and PDF editors, and …
You mean https://gitlab.iode.tech/os/apps/iodebrowser-old?
Yeah, that doesn’t gets updated.
There was a new and up to date repository with the link in my first reply. I remember browsing it and also have it in my browser history. At the moment it seems to be set to private and requires a login…
@rik @vince31fr Please can you clarify the status of the iodé Browser app? Is it built
- using sources in a private repo on
https://gitlab.iode.tech OR
- by applying patches to the upstream code from Mozilla / Firefox?
If it’s 1, when will the code be made public?
If it’s 2, where can the patches be found?
Or is iodé Browser no longer open source?
Thanks
PS Looking at the gitlab repos, I see that IodeBrowser is included in vendor_extra/prebuilts, which doesn’t help with finding the sources 
Our gitlab server actually suffers from AI scrapers, making it unsusable, and yielding a known issue on big repos. We have not found a good solution yet, so two big repos are actually hidden : iodé browser and frameworks_base. They will be available again when possible.

I understand, and sympathise. I’m sorry I don’t have the technical competence to help.
Anubis has been installed on our gitlab server, and hidden repos (frameworks_base and iodé browser) are visible again.
