What's wrong with Firefox for Android?
(Firefox for iOS is just reskinned WebKit, like all other iOS browsers, but hopefully Apple has to open this up soon)
- suprfsat 5y agoThey had a perfectly working browser and replaced it with a broken one with no support for extensions, printing/PDF, and WebAuthn. about:config is currently disabled, so for instance setting proxies no longer work. Ah, I see one of the … 18 supported extensions is a proxy setter. Basically they shipped premature beta software and abandoned the stable working version.
- yellowapple 5y agoI don't know about printing or WebAuthn, but I'm on Nightly and extensions (particularly uBlock Origin) work just fine AFAICT. And so does about:config.
- suprfsat 5y agoWebAuthn works now, but it was a regression. Nightly supports about:config but stable does not. Only a specific short list of extensions are supported.
- marcosdumay 5y agoThey rewrote it recently, and not only a lot of features didn't make it through, but it also lost most of the extensions. Still beats Chrome hands down. But it used to be better.
