I really want to use Firefox on Android, but I need a couple things: Desperately need the scrolling in Firefox to feel like scrolling in the rest of the apps. And I would very much like easy tab switching by swiping across the title bar thing, and the new tab/new incognito/back button behaviour. Pls Moz pls

Chrome style scrolling is default now. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17032056 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17032056

  Holy shit finally. Why didn't they do this straight away? It's extremely bothersome having one app scroll differently to the others

Given that Chrome on Android doesn’t support extensions and thus no ad/privacy blockers, it might as well not exist and Firefox is for me the only game in town due to supporting uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. Scrolling is irrelevant for me.

  Surprisingly enough, I've been using Stylus on quite a few sites as well

  By any chance have you noticed Google serving ads on Firefox? I use ublock origin on firefox and I have been getting ads occasionally on search.

Brave browser has been my default browser on Android. It's as fast as Chrome (if not faster) as it uses the same rendering engine Blink; has all the features you mention; has builtin Ad and privacy controls; is developed by Brendan Eich's company (Mozilla's co-founder); but is fully open source and a fork away, if the company starts pulling odd moves.

  Hey it does too. Now I can't remember why I went back to Chrome
