I have been using brave on android and really enjoy the experience. It is very similar to chrome and thus gives most of the advantages of chrome (opening browser after a long time feels very snappy, swipe to switch tabs). It also has convenient options to block ads and js placed very prominently at the url bar. It also has features like HTTPS everywhere and fingerprinting protection(haven't tried this one yet). Firefox on Android supports desktop extensions like uBlock origin, and I tried making it my default for some time, but brave is simply much more usable. The two shortcomings for Android firefox for me have been (a) No swipe to switch tabs, (b) Loading new pages is noticeable slower than Chrome/Brave.
- HappySweeney 8y agoWhat about power usage? One of the things that drove me from Chrome to Firefox on Android was the insane power draw from Chrome.
- enitihas 8y agoPower consumed is high. Brave consistently shows up as the highest cpu using app. Is firefox better on battery? If so, I will give it another try, as that is a very worthwhile trade-off.
