I strongly disagree. There are certainly issues, many of which are a result of the recent redesign, but I still find it a much better experience than Chrome on mobile and I think calling it "awful" is hyperbolic. Here are some examples of why I think FF > Chrome on mobile:
Firefox mobile supports extensions which I consider necessary at this point, such as uBlock Origin.
I can put the address bar at the bottom, where my fingers are.
The reader features makes many websites much easier to read - particularly on mobile.
Chrome defaults to opening things in tab groups now, which I find to be much more finicky to use than normal tabs. Bookmarks are for saving pages long-term, not tabs.
- I've noticed it crashes much more.
- It still doesn't support all the extensions I used to have, like uMatrix.
- All my bookmarks disappeared when it updated to the new version. I know syncing bookmarks would've let me recover, but I didn't realize it'd happen on the first place. And it seems like an easy problem to Amos even if a user didn't sync.
I've switched to Vivaldi and it's just much snappier and doesn't have the papercuts FF mobile is currently struggling through.
Total rewrites are cool, but they're real rough around the edges at first.
