I use Firefox on my desktop and laptop devices. I've tried using Firefox on Android. It's slow, and breaks on some sites. If you use it, good for you. I'm not gonna use it just for virtue signalling.

I use fennec and have had zero issues.

I have literally never had any of these issues with Firefox on Android

I've never had issues with Firefox on Android, and because I use Firefox on desktop I can sync my browsers between devices

Honestly I find it faster on my phone than chrome

How is it slow?

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know the technical reasons. Probably due to people optimizing their pages for Chromium, since it's the de facto standard. Most pages load slower on Firefox for me. Chromium based browsers are usually better. Also, most websites of Indian government break for me on Firefox. It's probably their fault, not Firefox's. But I don't want to deal with the annoyance. Everything seems to work most of the time on desktop, though.

Virtue signalling and armchair activism is all they know.

Stop making things up to justify your poor decisions. Caring about privacy and security isn't "virtue signaling", its just a good idea.

Bruh. I do care about privacy and security. Otherwise I would've used Chrome or Brave. Stop acting like anything except Firefox is trash. (That is the virtue signalling part.) They're not. I'd be happy if Firefox suited my needs on Android. I'm sorry that I can't change my experience just because you say so.

Firefox is very likely the best suggestion for people on android who have those concerns. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you but that's what you are seeing here, people reccomending the best option. No one is telling you can't use whatever you want.

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Not really. I started out by saying that this is the suggestion if one doesn't like Firefox on Android. I also said that I do use Firefox everywhere else. If you still say that I'm "justifying my poor decisions", it's not simple recommendation. It gets annoying.
