From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That is interesting. Tried on my Samsung S21 on Firefox mobile, and it's butter smooth.
Is it like that on other browsers?
Xiaomi 9pro smooth too
Smooth as butter on a chromium browser, which is nice but also annoying haha
Firefox mobile is chromium?
Edit. Had a . and not a ?
It's not tho. Their FAQ page explicitly says they're not chromium based (and they speak of both desktop and mobile) Wikipedia also says firefox mobile uses the Gecko engine, Chromium isn't mentioned.
Incorrect, actually. Firefox for Android uses Gecko like the desktop version, while the iOS version is stuck with WebKit.
