Agreed and upvoted but the browser is good. It works better than pretty much anything out there especially on android. Firefox for me is getting slower on desktop for some reason. Websites take a lot of time to load.
Have you tried Firefox on Android? You can actually have plugins. It’s the only mobile browser I know of that supports that.
I haven’t had your issue with Firefox getting slower though. I use Zen, but it’s still Firefox and it seems fine. Maybe it’s just the mainline branch getting slower? Could it be AI? Do you have it toggled off?
I tried literally everything (troubleshooting mode, uninstall all extensions, use the default state on a new profile, use the default state on a fresh install, use arkenfox user.js, etc) before installing brave origin. Even tried Librewolf. But seems like a Gecko issue for me. I was later told to diagnose what is slowing it down using the network tab but I had already switched by then and didn’t want to troubleshoot anymore when Brave Origin works flawlessly for me.
Also on Android I don’t need any plugins other than an ad-blocker which brave has built in. Only downside to Brave is that I have to turn off their Crypto bullshit. So yeah brave ticks all the boxes for me currently.
