Add some info on the website/github where you got these browsers. #158

I noticed there was a new browser in the android list that I've heard of but don't know much about but the only info was the name (Mull), the version number, an icon and the test results. That's not a lot to go on if you wanna look into it.

I assume this is the browser that was tested? https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/ The icon is different though?

There should be some page that has links to each browsers official website and/or the Google play/App Store/F-droid link. Maybe some info on what exact file you downloaded to be extra safe, link and maybe a hash of the file? Firefox has a lot of different installers/flatpaks after all.

You might argue that the name should be enough and that might be true until Mull was added because it's such a short generic name that's not SEO friendly thanks to the new recent Mullvad browser having a similar name. Using google to find anything can be weird these days but its extra risky for finding software downloads thanks to SEO crap, sponsored results and more and the same is true with the app store and google play. Also any browser can be forked/patched slightly like the versions of Firefox you get from Ubuntu, might be the same code but settings could change, I'm not entirely sure?

Maybe link on their name to download page on their website/f-droid etc. Would that be the best option?
