I'm geniunely asking, what are the alternatives that are fast, have builtin sync, and can block ads on android? I've tried firefox, and while it's gotten better on desktop, in my experience it struggles to play youtube videos on mobile, and the ui is basically unusable on a tablet/foldable.

happy firefox user for over 5 years now, glad i will never use chromium trash like this
... Looks like it's time to switch browsers again. Anyone got any suggestions? Preferably a Chromium-based privacy-focused browser without any crypto-related bells and whistles. And it has to be able to sync between Android and desktop.
I've been using Vivaldi for a while That's run by a team of ex Opera Browser engineers.
Vivaldi. Browser for a power user. Works amazing. Basically opera before it was bought by the Chinese.

Vivaldi! It's got everything you just described without the crypto bro nonsense.

I’m not using their browser in part because of all the problems of the past, but the search engine is actually really good. In my case it’s better than DDG and bing.
