I love Chromium on Android, but not having uBlock origin makes me stick with Firefox (or Mull).

    I just use Firefox and ublock anyways, since chromium has a neat monopoly on the web. A monopoly on browser tech is terrible for the web.

      I was an avid Firefox user back 15 years ago, when the Windows program would gobble up all the ram.

      Chrome was so light and quick, like everybody else, I switched.

      About 5 years ago, a new Firefox came out and I gave it a try and never looked back. So many neat plug ins! And uBlock on my phone!

      Unfortunately, I’ve also found Firefox to have a few breaking bugs that make the experience basically unusable in mobile.

      Things like the browser engine(?) crashing, causing the page to be soft-locked on a blank page, and running poorly compared to its other counterparts.

      Which is rather a shame, since it would be much more usable and promising if they fixed those issues.

        Weird, what device? I have a fold 4 and it’s been pretty solid, save for this occasional URL bug.

          Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Not the newest device, but works fine.

            That should be fine, I was on an s9 and it was pretty solid on that. Sorry you are running into issues! (Keep that note 9 as long as possible, I still miss the lack of expandable storage and having a headphone jack on my device)

        I find it strange that you’re having this issue. I haven’t had this issue on my OnePlus 3T, Note9, or Pixel 7 Pro using Fennec F-Droid or Mull (FOSS forks of Firefox)

        No such issues here on my Fold 4. Do you have an example of a specific website where it crashes on?

          It’s not a website issue, but a browser issue, that seems to be related to switching between multi-tasking. From the looks of things, either the browser or the OS kills the page, which then doesn’t resume properly for some reason.
