Firefox on Android sucks. I make a Google search, images show up in the results. I click an image and it doesn’t open up, just freezes the browser until I click the back button.

Is that a Firefox issue or Google making proprietary standards that only work with chromium based browsers?

I think Google is trying to be anti competitive. I have noticed similar issues when using Firefox with Google Docs.

Take a look at what a former Mozilla exec had to say on the issue: https://www.zdnet.com/article/former-mozilla-exec-google-has-sabotaged-firefox-for-years/

It’s great because I guess your user agent is now Firefox, but actually Apple only allows one Browser engine

I recommend mull over firfox for mobile. Has many of the patches from torproject and arkenfox user.js, and it is released by the divestOS project. All id add to it is ublock origin.

fdroid: https://www.f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/

Edit: I see people saying OP is on ios. If so it isnt available and wouldnt do much anyways saidly. Keeling this comment for others who use android.
