Im just waiting for Firefox mobile to add back support for all add-ons.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you tried Fennec? It's a stable and up-to-date release of Firefox with full support for add-ons and about:config

Not all add-ons work for mobile, but many of them do. You just have to use the "save to collection" feature to add them. I've got sponsorblock working in mine.

I don't know why but firefox feels sluggish compared to chromium based browsers on android

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

See, I've heard people say this, but this has not been my experience at all, and the data seem to support that it's not slower on Android. If anything, it should be faster.

I always disable intrusive settings like "suggestions from sponsors" and "improve the Firefox experience," so maybe that's the reason?

FireFox Beta and Nightly, and forks like Fennec and Mull from F-Droid support all add-ons.
