The browser situation on Android sucks. I test every browser I try like this: Can it scroll through Imgur properly? Sadly, only Chrome and Brave pass this test (its been a while since I tried Edge, but it used to fail at this too). Luckily Brave has decent ad blocking built in.

The best browser on Android is usually Samsung Internet Browser. It will work on non-Samsung devices. It has dark mode, it has adguard block addon, it's chromium, etc.

  That doesn't sound good at all. I don't want a Samsung, adguard or chromium..

Firefox for Android leaves much to be desired. But I still use it over Chrome.

I don't know why you would blame the browser and not Imgur for this.

  Oh, I'm certain Imgur could fix this issue if they wanted to. But they would rather push users into their app, so that's never going to happen. I still think this is as good test because A) I use Imgur's website on mobile, and B) expecting all web sites to be correctly optimized is unrealistic. I prefer to use Brave and uninstall Chrome, than use Firefox with Chrome as a backup.

    Is it possible nowadays to tell Brave to delete cookies when closing the browser?

      Under Settings > Brave Shields & Privacy, there is as "Clear data on exit" toggle. I'm not sure, but I think that uses whatever settings you have under "Clear browsing data". In those settings you can individually toggle history, cookies, cache, etc.

Vivaldi on Android is really nice. Blocks ads and trackers by default and does it well.

  Vivaldi is nice. Last time I tried it there were a few UI quirks that made me switch back to Brave. IIRC, it didn't behave all that great with Imgur (though better than Firefox).

Hmm, design of some page is broken so you measure all browsers based on that? That's one of the weirder things I've heard in a while...

  Well, its a webpage I use often. So I need a compatible browser.
