How is it for mobile though? All of my web interaction is through my android

I’ve used it very briefly and had no problems.

Honestly, the differences between browsers performance is almost nothing. I’ve been a long time Firefox user and only ever encountered a compatibility issue once, but that was on a 3rd world countries government webpage for a small neighborhood.

It was more likely that it was a bug.

Some websites are much worse than others. https://astro.build/ as an example. Try scrolling up and down on that website on Firefox vs Chrome (mobile).

The only difference I see is that Firefox allows me to scroll faster. What am I supposed to see?

it seems everyone has had completely different results! I've uploaded my experience here: video

for me if you look closely, ff hitches and lags on scroll while chrome scrolls perfectly smoothly
