At least on mobile, Firefox is so unresponsive it's a complete nonstarter on a slower phone. Chrome is fine.

Seems fine on mine.

You speaking anecdotally or do you have data?

Yeah, it's slow to the point of being completely unusable on my phone.

What's the point of even using the web if you don't have an ad blocker in your browser?

I mainly use the parts of the web that doesn't require one.

Have you used it recently, or just years ago? It definitely used to be very slow, but since ~2 years ago it's very good, and my go to browser (my phone is not high end, by the way)

I give it a spin every few months. Then I uninstall it because it's still irredeemably unresponsive.

This is the opposite of my experience on android. Firefox with uBlock Origin is the only way to get some sites to load in any reasonable timeframe. The difference can be measured in 10s of seconds, and is more noticeable with worse hardware.
