My understanding is that Fennec only removes Mozilla’s telemetry, whereas IronFox (forked from the discontinued Mull) is that plus patches to further harden the browser.
IronFox is available through F-Droid via the project’s own repository, but is recommended to install through Accrescent, which you can learn more about here.
The ironfox repo is one of many that are available within the neo store. I’ve installed from there. What difference(s) or benefits would using accrescent have?
Also fennec removes proprietary blobs but some services (eg sync) still contact Mozilla servers.

Not the person you responded to but as a former Brave user, I’ve been very satisfied with LibreWolf on desktop, and IronFox on Android.
Why not fennac straight from F-droid?
