I am going to be downvoted to hell for this. I use Mullvad Browser/LibreWolf on desktop but on Android I prefer Chromium. I was using Firefox until a couple months ago when I switched back to Vanadium/Cromite. Chromium on Android is very nice. First it has Material You support so it looks much better than Firefox. Second, it loads website faster and it scrolls buttery smooth unlike the noticeably choppier Firefox. Plus it has 120hz on the privacy preserving forks unlike Firefox which is stuck on 60hz with RFP on. Third, Chromium has per-site process isolation on Android so it has better security. I probably won't be switching back until Firefox catches up on those fronts.
You seem to have very high requirements for a mobile browser. None of this have been an issue for me in years of Firefox mobile. Maybe philosophy is worth a little bit of discomfort.
Write it in the fucking sky, my friend.
People need to rediscover what the word "principle" means and why they need to be fought for.
If you care about them, you'll tolerate a little inconvenience and you'll put a little time into adapting, maybe even learning.
If you can't muster any desire to stick to principles, you'll be in threads like this forever, helpless, and complaining over and over as things continue to shift further in a direction you don't wanna go in.
For real, people often give the weakest excuses for not trying or changing something. "But, but... I will have to..." like they have never had to do anything hard before.
It's okay. They can make up for it by wanking about some glorious revolution that they can't even define much less bring about.
This. Be the change you want to be. Stick to your principles.
Yeah, maybe. Felt kinda like betraying my faith or something at first when I switched back lol but I got used to it.
Counterpoint: uBlock origins.
Good point. But I have DNS adblocking so that doesn't bother me much.
Works but I always found using both is better.
Feels like an ad...
With Firefox you can put the search bar on the bottom. Checkmate.
Also how long till google doesn't let you use an ad blocker. Ublock origin on Firefox is king.
Cromite can do that too actually.
I checked and some article said you need to enable advances options and set some bs flag. Sounds like work but at least it's possible now.
Does chrome mobile have extension support? Firefox got ublocker these days.
I think people would let every company watch them take a shit if it meant they got dark mode on their app...
honestly I heavily agree, Firefox on android is just a worse and choppier experience and I'd love for it to get a major overhaul to bring it back up to modern standards
I couldn't care less about 120Hz when my privacy is at stake. Even if chrome has per tab isolation, I'm sure Google's got its mittens in there somewhere.
A second load time difference, meh. Not a big deal to me. Same with materialU
