- joseph2342 7y agoWhat does it offer that Firefox does not ?
- fwn 7y agoPeople here seem to "hope" that extension support will be implemented. If my stable Firefox for Android gets updated into a browser without uBlock Origin I will immediately switch to some chromish alternative with adblocking. There's no reason for firefox for android once extension support is gone, featurewise.
- losvedir 7y agoI use Firefox for Android for one reason: the ability to not load images on cell data. I'm surprised other browsers don't have that, but it's huge for me since I pay by the megabyte (Google Fi). It saves me $10/month easily. edit: oh, it looks like that's missing, too. Nooooo....
- terminaljunkid 7y agoPlus ublock origin can save a lot of data. I am on a slow university network and I keep JavaScript off by default using UBO. It takes 3 clicks to enable it for sites that really need it, but web is much faster with it.
- reportgunner 7y agoTry the duckduckgo android browser, most ads fail in it without extensions required. My favorite feature is the "fire" icon that closes all tabs, deletes all cookies and history and basically reinitializes the browser.
- useragent86 7y agoHN mods should investigate the systematic downvoting of pro-Brave comments. It happens on every discussion of browsers.
- thenewnewguy 7y agoI "systematically" downvote comments that exist solely to advertise an alternative to the software being discussed. I would do the exact same thing to "hey, use firefox" comments on a Brave-related article.
- jonny383 7y agoThey keep getting voted down because comments like "just use brave" don't actually add anything relevant to the discussion about the subject article.
