I strongly agree. It feels like Google has been mostly phoning it in on mobile chrome for a long time. Obviously it is very difficult to take something designed for a desktop and make it work well on a phone, but there definitely seems to be opportunity here.

Have you tried Firefox Android? The only complaint I have is when it hits 100 tabs, the tab count becomes ∞ which is slightly humorous.

  Yes, me too. It's funny, but once I can't measure my progress it's all over. I wish they would put into the number so I can at least tell if it's going up or down and hopefully get it lower. I don't want funny features, I want features that give me control.

    Knowing exactly how many tabs are open doesn't make it easier to close tabs. Also it wasn't exactly done as a joke, the number used to overflow onto a second line and not be readable.

  I use Firefox on Android and prefer it a thousand times over Chorme (because ublock), but it's definitely not bug free. In particular, at least a couple of times a week Firefox will stop loading pages on all tabs, like if the connection was abismally slow. Killing and restarting the app fixes the problem.

    I'm experiencing the same issue, and it seems related to uBlock.

      I've suspected that, but have never been able to prove it.

        When Firefox starts misbehaving like that, disable uBlock and the problem disappears.

  I mostly use Opera on mobile, as it's the only browser I've found that can properly scale and reflow text.

    Many years later, still nice to come across this kinda comment. :) It had actually been taken out of scope when I unwittingly started working on it. I had enough success within the first week or so that I managed to convince my manager that we should bring it into scope again for the initial release of the Chromium-based browser.

  I use Firefox and Brave, and the latter does the same but with a smiley: :D which is even funnier Firefox has its problems; most times after opening it for the first time, I have time to input some search terms and _then_ Firefox ends loading up, and suddenly my search blanks out and stops loading. That happens a lot.
