- causi 4y agoHave you actually tried a different one lately? I tried Vivaldi and was astonished at how much snappier it is. No more weird crashes on launch. No more Desktop Mode button that breaks if you hit the Back button. No more failed attempts to dismiss a tab because using your phone in landscape mode made it adjust the swipe length to six damn inches long.
- zeppelin101 4y agoI haven't tried other browsers lately. I agree that FF is less snappy compared to Chrome, for example, but I have a fast phone. I haven't experienced those issues you talk about - maybe it's just my luck! I particularly like the ad-blocking abilities of FF.
- causi 4y agoI still use Firefox for high-risk browsing like porn or piracy, but for regular browsing the adblocking built into Vivaldi or Brave works just fine.
- zeppelin101 4y agoInteresting that you'd bring up Vivaldi. I think I tried it on my phone a few years back and it worked OK. But on a PC or Mac, it's the most bloated and slow piece of software I've seen. Which is a damn shame, because it has a lot of unique features.
- causi 4y agoI agree fully. It's quite nice on mobile, though. I especially like being able to automatically hide the status bar while in landscape mode to maximize vertical space. There's also the advantage that, as a Chromium-based browser, the Assistant command "read aloud" works.
