Hi guys wanted to know how can i use mull browser in higher refresh rate than 60hz? I know it will make me standout and more prone to fingerprinting and it's fine for my use case

You probably need to turn off resist fingerprinting.

Honestly I don't really understand why one would need something more than 60 Hz. Most phones on the market don't even support it.

[…] more than 60 Hz. Most phones on the market don't even support it.

Just checked. Most phones within the 400€ - 800€ price range support more than 60Hz.

Of 591 devices, only 176 feature a 'unknown' or <90Hz refresh rate. 415 support >=90Hz, 382 support >=120Hz and 48 models go to >=144Hz. It has become a fairly common feature.

Who knows, maybe OP is playing competive PVP in the browser on his phone?

nope I just used to 120hz and gonna use mull for logging in accounts so no need for resist fingerprinting. I use another disposable browser for anonymity.

I use a 120hz phone, but I don't need this feature in a browser, only maybe in an app

I remember the main dev of Mull saying it can be done on about:config but you need to disable something else, maybe you can find it on the project repo

Firefox's privacy.resistFingerprinting flag normalizes refresh rate (among many other metrics)
