    In a modern x86 computer? It is.

    BUT if you’re using a Raspberry Pi 4 as your main computer as i am, it really is not, not even with Webrender activated.

    I’m also using only Firefox preview in Android and is quite good, but i understand that Firefox struggles when using a lot of AJAX, which most mobile versions of a webpage don’t.

    Very unfortunate since y hate Chromium but what can i say…

      so you probably know this already, but the code in Firefox Preview is now stable (and has been in beta for a while). Stable is now Ffox 80, Beta is 81.

      I switched from Preview to Beta, and… probably going to stay there rather than going to Stable.

      And yeah desktop Firefox (slightly modified to fit on a mobile screen) is… sluggish on my PinePhone.
