    Firefox rules, people need to smarten up. Hell, Firefox on Android has an Adblock extension. Firefox is what’s up.

        Is Firefox for Android getting faster as expected? Last time, it seems very slow. I might switch back from Vivaldi if tests seem very well.

          I recently switched to Firefox Nightly on Android and haven’t noticed it being any slower than the previous chromium browser I was using. I did opt to forgo the Dark Reader add-on for it though since that was slowing down webpage rendering a bit.

        I recently switched from Opera to Firefox.

        I was getting 59 FPS average in Opera, full bore 165 FPS / Hz in Firefox.

        I didn’t -want- to switch but it’s objectively faster, especially on Linux.

      The issue for me with Firefox on Android is it would sometimes refuse to load pages when switching back after being suspended from the background and I have no clue why. I’d have to open a new tab and copy the URL to force it to load and it was so frustrating.

      I use Brave now (with the promotional stuff off, even though I still don’t fully trust them), since it seems to be the only other ad-blocking browser on Android that’s even decently easy to use. However, I still use Firefox on Windows with tree style tabs and raindrop.io to sync bookmarks, both of which are god tier productivity tools.

          No work around is needed. You can install a very limited number of extensions on Firefox mobile and they are the ones you want the most. This includes uBlock Origen.

            hey are the ones **you **want the most

            You don’t know which extensions I want most. I want:

            • uBlock Origin ✅
            • Consent-o-Matic ❌ - but the sort of thing they might eventually add to the blessed list with enough begging
            • Bypass Paywalls ⛔ - Mozilla will never recommend this or even distribute it on its addons site

            3-4 years ago, I could install any extension I wanted. I reject their stated reasons for barring me from doing so (security, stability - those are on me once I start installing unsupported add-ons) and use Kiwi Browser instead.
