Me too. Bit I also haven't updated it in over a year in order to avoid the awful rewrite.

Exactly, unless you turn off javascript and limit yourself to a very limited subset of sites you are a sitting duck. I would have thought HN general consensus would be that this is a very very bad idea.

The new updated Firefox on Android is better than the old one

Totally agree. It's not intrusive, gives lots of options organized well, it's fast... great browser. I assume it's still safer than Chrome as well, seems like the best option for now

I'm not sure why anyone would use chrome on android when brave, vivaldi, firefox are all better.

Same old answer, and actually the real reason why Firefox marketshare is dropping: people don't change the default application.

I don't know about that, it feels weird now. I don't appreciate gratuitous changes to the UI.
