No one on the fucking planet should be using this shitty browser anyway. Fuck Chrome, fuck everything that's Chromium-based and fuck Google and their attempts to build a monopoly on browser engines so they can blast everyone with ads and extend their surveillance network. Use a proper browser with support for proper ad-blockers like Firefox or Mull or LibreWolf on Desktop.

No, especially in this context I strongly disagree. Chromium especially when it comes to JS V8 is often faster. Not an issue when your phone is modern and fast but with Android 7 you are looking at a lot of first generation of 64 bit phones (Snapdragon 810, 808, 625, ...) and even some late 32 bit phones (Snapdragon 801, 805,...). Phones that need all the help they can get to squeeze water from stones.

However still hats off to mozilla for supporting Android 5 and 6. This way they keep a lot more phones somewhat viable, even if its not the fastest browser.

Freedom > Performance

Also, no one should be using outdated, unpatched, insecure Android 7
