Firefox also supports https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/customtabs https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/customtabs .
It also has a very nifty feature (IIRC off by default) where if you click on a link instead of switching to Firefox it shows a "Tab opened in Firefox" toast which you can tap on to switch to. This means I can for example click on the links in an email whilst still reading it, and then switch to the browser later to read them all. This does make opening links two taps by default (tap on the link, and then tap on the toast), but there's no tap-hold so it's fast and nice. Plus my workflow prefers opening tabs that i look at later, not immediately.
- Aissen 9y agoDisagreed. I might have 3GB of RAM on this phone, but the browser(s) often get moved out of RAM. It's slower to start than Chrome/Brave. Cold-boot performance matters. I keep Firefox Beta around, and just checked, it's still almost twice as slow as Brave in a adhoc cold start test.
- Manishearth 9y agoI'm not sure what you're disagreeing with, I was specifically responding to the "adds another three clicks" thing
- Aissen 9y agoI see. I thought you meant that as a default browser, there would be less chance for it to be swapped out, and therefore it would be sluggish.
