It's my primary browser on mobile and always has been. What am I missing?
Chrome on mobile without uBlock is as bad as you would expect.
Kiwi and Brave are both Chromium based, and on mobile both are faster/less jittery than Firefox. Especially on web apps that have some level of interactivity with CSS transitions and transforms.
Kiwi has excellent support for Chrome extensions including UBO, and Brave comes with adblocking built in. Samsung Browser has adblocking as well.
And those choices are literally rebranded Chrome - which means they're likely going to be victims of Chrome Extension Manifest V3 nerfing content blockers in various ways (especially once Chrome fully sunsets MV2), no?
What's wrong with Firefox for Android?
(Firefox for iOS is just reskinned WebKit, like all other iOS browsers, but hopefully Apple has to open this up soon)
Still beats Chrome hands down. But it used to be better.
about:config is currently disabled, so for instance setting proxies no longer work. Ah, I see one of the … 18 supported extensions is a proxy setter.
Basically they shipped premature beta software and abandoned the stable working version.
Also, I haven't seen Mozilla associated with positive PR for a long time. Much as I love Firefox, it's dead on mobile.
