Constant crashes that lose open tabs, layout glitches where display gets offset from ui trigger points (including on this site), downloads that just fail / don't work.
You'd think that this would have me stop using it, but I really don't want to use Chrome/Brave/DDG so have just been putting up with it.
- dicknuckle 4y agowhy not Kiwi Browser? uses chromium under the hood. allows chrome extensions to be installed, but most don't work.
- zamadatix 4y agoLike most small-backing Chromium clones it's usually ~2 months behind on patches (normal and security) and the published source is about ~10 months behind. Being effectively closed for the release version and very small from a development side it does wonky things like redirect your "Google" searches through their servers since they don't have proper search agreements. I.e. it's basically "an interesting Chromium clone maintained by a couple of folks out of Estonia". If you're cool with that it can be a nifty browser, for many that just makes it to unproven to dump access to their entire online world into.
- TingPing 4y agoAnecdotally I've never experienced a single one of those bugs in Firefox on Android as a heavy user.
- pleb_nz 4y agoI second this. Only use ff mobile and never have any issues
- iamcurious 4y agoI rarely find any of those things. I mean, it does crash, but once every six months, which I don't see as constant. Hehe, we are on the same boat about not using other browsers. I have been use firefox for the last 18 years, I will continue to do so.
