But what about mobile? I started using FF and I have to admit that Chrome is a better mobile experience. Brave isn't for me either.
Edit: lol I'm sorry my experience doesn't match yours and I chose to ask a question.
- Chrome doesn't support browser extensions so it is an awful experience for me
  
  Same, curious what issues they have in FF, I only know of a couple sites that don't work right in FF mobile
  
  I still use ff android, but it seriously annoys me that this bug hasn't been fixed in 6 years https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535985
  
  I hadn't noticed this and it will now silently bug me.
  Thanks, I hate it!
  
  Lol I didn't notice it either but don't miss it either, often the suggestions were more annoying then anything else, imo
- Firefox has ad blockers on mobile.
  That immediately makes the mobile web useable again.
  
  FF mobile is slow
  
  Running speedometer 3.0 gives me 7.68 for FF and 10.4 for Chrome.
  That's not an enormous difference and in real life usage the ads and cookie banner bullshit I can't block more than makes up for it.
- The Reddit hive mind behaviour is seeping through the cracks.
  For me personally, the experience is allowed to take a hit, hell even a major hit, if the browser respects me as a user. FF seems to be better on that front although I'll confess I use Vanadium on my phone. Its GrapheneOS' default browser.

- Mull is great on Android.
- Welcome to Lemmy where having an opinion even slightly different from the open source/Linux fanboys grants you downvotes to oblivion, no questions asked 🙃
  
  Thanks for putting yourself on the pyre to prove a point. Hivemind is worse here than Reddit imo, because at least Reddit has a diverse user base...
  
  Yup, I totally agree. I’ve been in this situation a few times where I just asked a question because I wanted to know people’s opinion about something privacy or FOSS related, and got downvoted.
  I have an IRL friend who went back to Reddit in large parts because of stuff like this. It’s pretty bad.
  And I say all this as an open source developer
