It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox (www.androidpolice.com)

• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

What's wrong with that page? I'm not seeing anything in particular.

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Same

Scrolling was a little jittery on both ff and Chrome for me, but the page has a lot of content on it, so I wouldn't expect it run silky smooth on everything.

I think because of the JS framework it's using is causing performance issues. Ironic because the website claims 98/100 performance score - the highest of all those that they tested. It works perfectly smoothly on Chrome for me. A simple page like that should not lag/hitch at all.

Massive lag on scrolling. Are you not seeing this? I'll record the screen in a minute.

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was a tiny bit jittery on the first scroll through the page but not very noticeable and it happened in both browsers anyway. That's about it. I'm on an Xperia 10 III.

video is uploaded here

sorry I wasn't sure where to upload the video running a pixel 7 pro it's hard to come across on video but it is there. hitching/jittery/lag on ff, perfectly smooth on chrome

i'm surprised by the comments, everyone has been having mixed results

[–] Kethal@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's completely fine for me on FF mobile.

[–] stifle867@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Very strange! Everyone who has replied has had a different experience on this website. It's probably an issue with the website, not Firefox per se. It simply manifests on Firefox for me personally.

Video link doesn't work - have you tried testing with extensions disabled?

[–] stifle867@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

try this link instead and let me know if it works

and yes. while not in the video, I did download the beta ff version to have a seperate/clean environment to test in and the same behaviour is replicated
