No hate on FF mobile from me, but I can objectively say Chrome, at least visually and subjectively, performs noticably faster than FF. That said, I still prefer FF over Chrome.
My mobile FF install runs uBlock origin, which blocks youtube ads btw, this is enough for me to use it exclusively. That it syncs with my desktop FF is just a nice bonus.
I was happy with chrome performance. After switching to FF, based on the accolades on Lemmy, I’ve been mostly happy… But fuck if there’s not major lag at times. It isn’t connection related, as I’ve immediately popped over to Chrome for that site and had no issue.
I’m not unhappy with Firefox, but I notice it’s presence, which is not what I want in a browser.
I’ve been using FF on mobile for couple of weeks now, I dont see any major issues, in fact, no issues at all. Plus, it has extension support.
Why do people hate FF on mobile?
People hate on FF mobile? It works great for me. To be honest I think I like it more than the desktop FF.
Actual answer?
Not a reason to hate it though, just a reason why sadly Chromium-based browsers are preferable for now

iirc the firefox javacript interpreter is much slower than chrome’s. I guess the lag is most noticable in JavaScript heavy sites?
Idunno, i had mega lag after hitting enter on a duck duck go search in the address bar.
It lags a lot on some websites, but it’s fine for most
i feel like its laggy
i use voyager for browsing lemmy on firefox, it often freeze while chromium fork doesn’t do that
Are you using a potato? I’ve never had an issue. FF with ublock ftw
