Firefox is great on Android. When was the last time you tried Firefox for Android? It has had major overhauls to its underlying code. To be clear, Firefox on iOS is a totally different story because on iOS it isn’t actually Firefox due to Apple requiring all third party browsers on iOS to be Safari running a UI skin rather than having their own engine.
I use it instead of Chrome because unlike Chrome it lets me run all the add-ons. Since it lets me run add-ons like Ublock Origin and already just doesn’t load a lot of the JavaScript tracking code websites use, it also is more responsive than Chrome, pages load faster, and uses less memory. Most importantly Firefox on Android let’s me run the Dark Reader addon, so websites don’t look like shit and browsing uses less battery.
Brave isn’t a legitimate alternative even though it allows add-ons because it’s not just Chromium based but is a Peter Theil backed user data harvesting and cryptocurrency scheme that just lies to their users with privacy theater bullshit.

this morning. And it crashed
it also is more responsive than Chrome, pages load faster, and uses less memory
not in my experience. Chrome is noticeably faster for me

yeah, I use firefox sometimes because of extensions too, but chrome is just better overall. I think I’m gonna find some chromium-based browser that lets me use extensions
I closed all my tabs on both browsers and now they run about the same, even though I had way more tabs open on chrome. Seems like firefox does not handle a lot of tabs well on my phone
Hmm i wonder if it’s that? I have heard Chrome does many tabs better? I use FF and have always run one tab at a time unless I’m actively working on some project so i would never see this important performance difference

That’s really weird. I have infinite tabs open on my phone and it runs fine usually
Same, been using Firefox mobile for a good 5 years now, and it’s never been unusable.

I gotta say that since I got my latest phone firefox fucking blows. It simply doesn’t work. Like fails to react to input. Crashes.
It always worked great on other devices. So I know it is possible. But if this was my only experience I would assume it was hot trash.
Not that I’ve gone so far as to open up chrome or anything.
