The final push to start using Firefox over Chrome on Android might finally be thanks to the enormous selection of add-ons (Firefox's version of extensions) coming out next month. Chrome doesn't offer native support for extensions in its mobile app. Also, better security.

I just swapped off of it, Firefox has been buggy for me, no matter which fork I use, it's been slow too. I recently just migrated to fulgris

These types of comments always interest me. What phone are you using?

[–] h4wk3y3@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

I do see a difference between Firefox on a Pixel 4a and Safari on an iPhone 13. The iPhone loads a webpage in less than a second whereas Firefox needs 2-4 seconds for the same webpage. I still use Firefox though as it is better in every other aspect.

Im currently using a stock S9+ snapdragon (why its still stock -_-). I do have most google stuff disabled and pretty much all my apps aside from android and webview (which fulgris relies on) are from fdroid or ffupdater. It could be the standard A10 shenaigans, but it's not something i've been hitting on webview and chrome based browsers

Have you considered your phone is underpowered?

[–] drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No lol. If an s9+ is considered under powered for Firefox, Then Firefox has to be one of the worst web engines I've ever used, including Internet Explorer.

keep in mind as I said, webview and chromium browsers are fine. I've even used desktop browsers on this phone without an issue thanks to termux. There is absolutely zero chance my phone is underpowered.
