I only use FF in Linux, I tried on Android but it's somewhat bad 😔
What's bad about it? It's the only way to use an ad blocker on mobile
Wrong. Vivaldi and Brave have adblockers, without even taking into account AdGuard, Blockade and the likes.
Yes, but it's buggy, it often freezes, it also consumes ~5% battery per hour, even if I kill FF before going to bed, the next morning it took like 40% of the battery in 8h night.
The url bar is in the bottom of the screen in stead of in the top.
You can move it to the top in the settings though..? They moved it to the bottom by default because most people have their thumbs close to the bottom of the screen, so they don't need to reach all the way to the top to get to the URL bar or change tabs.
That drove me nuts... You can fix it through, I did it immediately when they made the change
I just checked in my own, you can change the toolbar to the top of the screen in the "Customize" page of the settings.
Yeah i know. That's just the worst thing I could think of.
I've also had problems with Firefox on mobile. For some reason it's just very heavy on my phone, slower than chromium and has frozen android twice. I go back to it every now and then to see if it's changed but until then there are many browsers that support ad blockers. Kiwi works great for me
vivaldi also has an adblocker on android
Same here .... there is more than enough content on the internet as a whole .... if I run into a site that gives me a hard time to see or read any of their content, I just turn it off, close the tab and restart my search or go somewhere else. I'm not wasting my time to accommodate a dumb website that doesn't want to easily show me something I can see elsewhere .... and if I can't see it elsewhere, then more than likely, it wasn't worth seeing anyway.
