Have you actually tried Firefox? They've had a pretty big update recently, which also broke many extensions and ways of making advanced extensions, so some people do take that as reason to say that it's now "long way from its former glory", but if you've been a Chrome user up until now, it'd strike me as odd for you to think that, since it's still much more extensible than Chrome.
Well, unless you haven't seen the new update yet and are talking of the performance problems that it had prior to this update. In that case, you should try the new version.
- aceofspad3s 9y agoFirefox is much slower than Chrome on Android, at least on my (reasonably powerful) Qualcomm 625
- tomrod 9y agoInteresting. I've found in terms of speed: Opera > Firefox > Chrome. I suspect it is due primarily to ads.
- ams6110 9y agoI'm pretty happy with Firefox Focus on a Moto G3. Some people may not like the lack of features in that browser however, e.g. no history, no cookies saved, etc.

You can also get regular Firefox with uBlock Origin to have a similar experience with these features, if this annoys you.
- vel0city 9y agoFirefox with uBlock installed gives a much faster overall experience on my device compared to using Google Chrome. Ads have become such a nightmare on mobile sites.
- mintplant 9y agoWhen did you last try it? If it was anything more than a month ago you might want go give it another spin, and/or try a Beta or Nightly build, as the Quantum revamps aren't all enabled yet in the stable channel of the Android edition.
