Firefox mobile app sucks on my phone. Not sure about the rest of you. Doesn't seem like there is a great alternative though.
Works just fine for me. Though it's been a while since I used anything else, I don't really have a frame of reference. That being said, I can install ublock origin and dark reader in firefox so I won't ever use anything else on my phone.
It does seem slower on my Samsung Galaxy S10e, but I just downloaded it and as you said, there really isn't a great alternative, so for now I'll use it. I'm sure that someone will develop something better at some point.
It is extremely slow compared to chrome. But I still prefer to use it, unless I am in a hurry.
Somehow it's shit on 60Hz displays. My 120Hz display phone, it's quite snappy. But on my older 60Hz display phone, it's unnaturally slow. If your phone isn't HRR, then maybe this is it? I don't quite know wtf is wrong with it
I use a picel a4.
Kiwi browser is very good. You can also install desktop extensions and there are built in dark mode with AMOLED settings
Never felt like I'm missing out.. and I care about good UX
Been using duckduckgo for the longest time. No complaints.
Brave is shit but it's the only slightly okay mobile chromium browser
The only Chromium-based browser worth a damn is Vivaldi.
It's privacy-focused and made by the same people who originally made Opera before it got sold off and turned into malware.
Ungoogled chromium (github) also worth taking a look at.
I use FF + very strict arkenfox 99% of the time, then if a site breaks I fall back to ungoogled chromium
try cromite
Try Iceraven, the fork of Firefox.
There's also Opera.
Opera is chromium based.
Dang, Chrome is everywhere these days
Don't be like them and generalize everything. Browsers are complex piece of software with many use cases. For mine for example Firefox works great without major issues. It might not be the case for you and that's fine!
There are plenty of people without issues using FireFox (like me). That being said, I'm sure there are those that have issues, so no downvotes from me. It is however better to not generalize like that.
It's literally not. I've seen multiple performance-impacting bugs that people mention, which is a bummer for those users... But none of them happen to me (Pixel 5, android 13) or plenty of other users. Insisting that FF is just hopelessly broken on Android is simply untrue.
It absolutely used to suck performance wise since I used an S4 for about 2 years. Since then, it's been great. As someone who used to dislike the performance, and now loves it, even over chromium stuff, I can safely suggest your oversimplified opinion is without any real basis. Sucks is such a vague word, and I guess it stops you having to detail and rationalise your personal opinion.
It's always been great on the desktop.
