Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I'm avoiding Brave from now on.

Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it's own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don't need youtube on Fire max , You don't need Google Maps , You don't need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .

The situation on mobile is dire. Bromite and Ungoogled-Chromium are dead, and mobile Firefox is slow crap that Mozilla doesn't give two fucks about. I'm grinding my teeth using IceRaven and Mulch, but I'm not surprised those with less patience would use an all-in-one solution.

Mobile firefox on ios has been way better than almost everything else, atleast compared to like brave and chrome etc

Maybe its being neglected on android? Im on the latest version and ios 17 dev beta

On iOS, FF is using Safari core so there shouldn't be any speed difference, and maybe they can concentrate on UI stuff.

Or maybe you're not looking for stuff I want that used to be in FF but were removed - like bookmarks export/import. That's just criminal that it was axed in favor of their fIrEFoX AcCunT

Yeah which is why I didn't mention safari, just others like chrome where i could feel it at times, difference in Ui or something like that maybe? It was a long time ago though

The only thing I wish I had on Firefox is tab groups. That's it. It's totally fine otherwise.

(Don't suggest me an extension. I've tried them. They suck. This isn't a deal breaker for me. I use Firefox.)

Huh

Ive never really used tab groups so they arent really a problem for me, might try them out someday though
