    https://www. omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/06/mozill a-firefox-android-google-play-integrity Mozilla has added a new Google Play Integrity library to Firefox for Android

    Mozilla has integrated a Google Play Integrity library into its Firefox for Android browser. This library allows Firefox to request a Play Integrity token, which is then sent to Mozilla's Machine Learning Proxy server. Mozilla states this is primarily for accessing AI-powered features like Smart Window and ensuring they are used with unmodified, Play-certified installations, though core browser functionality should remain unaffected on other devices.

    Mozilla is facing criticism from the free and open-source software (FOSS) community for integrating Google's Play Integrity API into Firefox for Android. This API is known to block users of custom Android ROMs, such as LineageOS and GrapheneOS, from accessing certain applications, particularly banking apps. Critics argue that this move contradicts Firefox's core value proposition as a privacy-focused, open-source alternative to Google's ecosystem, especially for users who deliberately avoid Google services.
