- tombert 1y agoI think it doesn't background tabs at all. I noticed that the battery got considerably better if I actively always closed all my tabs.
- bikelang 1y agoBrave is hands down the best ad blocking experience on iOS as well.
- EasyMark 1y agokagi with ublock origin extension is just as good
- bikelang 1y agoOrion was my daily driver on iOS/macOS for a fair bit ~8 months ago. It wasn’t the most stable and didn’t block ads reliably in YouTube videos either. Planning to give it another shot next year. I certainly like the Kagi ethos better than Brave - the product functionality just wasn’t there yet.
- EasyMark 1y agoI have youtube premium so I guess I hadn't noticed. it seems perfectly stable and usable to me though so maybe you're more of a power user than me. I do most of my browser on a laptop to be honest
- glimshe 1y agoI also use Brave on Android. The performance is better based on my use cases. I hardly see ads.
- doodoowy 1y agoFirefox focus is not real Firefox. I think it is just a chromium wrapper.
- EasyMark 1y agoit uses the gecko engine, what are you talking about?
- celsoazevedo 1y agoIt's real Firefox, just not the complete Firefox browser (with extensions and all that) mentioned on this post.
- EasyMark 1y agoyou said it used blink/chromium engine, just correcting that is all.
- doodoowy 1y agoAh, I am way way out of date, sorry! It switched to Gecko back in 2018. Turns out I had tried it out a very long time ago. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/whats-new-firefox-focus-android-version-7 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/whats-new-firefox-focus...
