I enjoyed that brief Android Chrome experiment where the browser supported moving the address bar to the bottom. Now that feature has been made available on iOS, but remains AWOL on Android.

Firefox does. And got addons including adblockers.

Not trying to say one is better than the other you know. Just... saying.

Firefox has its own set of problems on Android(mostly website compatibility) , but it is a much more pleasant experience not having to deal with ads at all on the phone.

Not much problems for me.
My seedbox is not well accessed while on firefox.

Any sites you dislike accessing via firefox mobile?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

None that I visit regularly, but occasionally there is one annoying link somewhere that refuses to display correctly in Firefox and forces me to use Chrome to see the content

(I still use FF as my primary browser on the phone.)

Maybe try the Kiwi browser. It's the exact Chrome with extension support, without Google sync.

Recent Firefox Android releases reload a recently-visited website whenever I'm switching an app and go back to browser after a few seconds. Sometimes, it doesn't load. I've been using Firefox since 2021, and this was never happened to me before.
