    Now i just wish they fix the stupid bug where my tab becomes unuseable, it happens randomly and i cant reproduce, only thing that helps is to close it and undo the closing.

      I have had this happened to me before, I think it has something to do with Android closing the app because of needing more RAM, hence you go back to FF and find out a blank page or sometimes it is not even the correct tab lol, refreshing it won’t fix it thus you’d need to manually close, or force close the app to get it in a working state.

      Also, I haven’t checked on mobile, but the PS Store website just crashes Firefox entirely in macOS lol, those kind of annoyances weren’t present in Chromium based browsers, and I can see this being a huge downside for most people, for me it is worth it because FF is so damn cool.

    And here’s me; bought a Google Pixel and the first thing I did was disable Chrome and install Firefox. Reading this makes it even more worthwhile.

    Nightly user here, does this mean I no longer need to do the song and dance of manually adding my addons list to the browser anymore? Guess I can finally switch to stable!

    What are some good extensions for Firefox? I got the standard ad-block but I don’t know what else is out there.

        Although I agree that Firefox should be freed on iOS, but should chrome?

        A significant amount of browsers on iOS would probably move to blink/chromium the first chance they get(like they do on Android), which only serves to strengthen Google’s monopoly in the space.

          The alternative would be … The EU rules that only webkit and Firefox are allowed on iOS…? That’s not happening, nor should it. (Fuck Google still though, I agree with your stance there)

            Better than apple doing whatever the fuck they want. Imagine Microsoft would have only allowed IE based browsers on windows. We would still be in the IE days, because why put work into something when you can just force people to use it?

            At least with chrome it is used because it is a pretty competent engine.

      Genuine question, why stick to ios in that case? I can see a normie who is unaware of these stuff keep using apple since their use case isn’t that complex and apple gives a decent baseline.

      But, ios legitimately sucks because it’s so restrictive and here your personal productivity is going down because of it.

        I used Android and its variants for 10+ years. With each version you had to do more and more battle to somewhat safeguard any shed of privacy. It was exhausting.

        So I bit the bullet and chose the lesser of two evils. Apple > Google.

        Happy so far.
