I tried Firefox but it was hot garbage on Android.

Ended up going with Kiwi - same extension support but just better designed and much faster. Firefox kinda sucks on mobile beyond ublock origin support.

I’ve had no issue so far. It’s just as fast as Chrome for me and the AdBlock just the cherry on top. I use it on both my phone and Android tablet

Edit: Kiwi is based on Chromium so its privacy is arguably very very debatable

I think later this month a version will be launched that will enable practically all the desktop extensions…

Pre-enable. I dont think they will change how the addons work. The Browser simply has a different preset addon collection of addons available.

See my collection, I tested all these and they work on mobile. Lots of features like Tabs, popups, advanced Downloads etc. dont work, but other things do.

Back in the days when Netscape Navigator went down, I switched to then-new Firefox.

I have had no reason to not use it. With mods Firefox even allows me to keep the UI looking exactly the same as it did with version 3.x, where everything is just where I want it to be.

Change just for the sake of change is pointless.

I normally don’t jump on bandwagons, but this is the way. After using ublock on firefox on my phone, it was an easy decision to switch from chrome to firefox (librewolf) on my computer too (so everything would sync lol)
