It’s time to give Firefox another chance

The Quantum project includes more than Stylo and WebRender. There are lots of small performance fixes ("Quantum Flow") in core Gecko code that should improve performance on Android. Stylo for Android is currently targeting Firefox 59. I don't know if WebRender will support Android.

Firefox for Android Beta currently has the Quantum update, and it's buttery smooth!

I got the beta two days ago and oh my God this thing is super fast. I used to dread opening web pages, now it's my favorite thing! I am extremely impressed with the work they did.

That's interesting. I find Firefox Nightly on Android to be extremely slow compared to Chrome.

I don't know what changed, but at last the terrible lag when moving the cursor on text fields is gone. Loving it.

I do have to find the webextension equivalent of half my add-ons though.

Yeah, and unfortunately some of the addons aren't even available :(
