I like Edge
It’s basically chrome but not bloated
Firefox is so shit on mobile that it reloads every time I switch to other apps. I once tried to fill up a very long form, and when I tried to look up some information on my notepad app, I switched back to ff it reloaded and all my progress was erased.
It’s a bug that has existed for years, and they never bother to fix it.

So I switched to chrome + adblocking DNS on my phone and pc and I never looked back.
edit: Lemmy is becoming circlejerky like Reddit who would have thought. Facts downvoted have you guys even visited the link above it’s a widespread issue. My phone is 8gb sd855+ with battery optimization disabled for FF mobile app. This is why I rarely engage.
That’s hardly a solution. It’s like when a dog keeps shitting in your house, so you relocate to the other apartment.
They praise FF while easily dismissing major bugs that force users to switch to other browsers using their anecdotal evidence. Yes, FF PC is nice and solid but I mostly browse on my phone nowadays.
It happened to me when I still used and old Moto g7 play with only 200mb free of ram so the phone needed to kill it it in order to load the other app, making Firefox “refresh” itself.
But that’s the only time it happened to me.
I mean yeah but my phone is 8gb ad855+ and battery optimization disabled but is still reloading. It’s a widespread issue visit the link above or try googling it.
I remember encountering this issue before I switxhed to a more powerful one that can run multiple apps in parralel (split screen)
I didnt think it still existed now, but following the bug tracker, did you do the dom.ipc.processPrelaunch.lowmem_mb modification? I am quite curious
Yeah chrome is sorta bad, but I had a Firefox that was running for a few weeks or so that was using over 30 gigs of ram. No exaggeration.
Best part of Lemmy is the lack of Brave bros (Inb4 downvotes, I know you’re still out there)
When I was testing different browsers for personal use I was personally put off by the gamified crypto stuff when I just wanted a browser.
I’d rather use firefox on desktop. On mobile I recently switched to bromite as default browser and firefox for everything else.
Edit: Looks like bromite is not active anymore. I am once again in search for a chromium browser.
Ditch it on mobile and try Firefox Mobile instead. You can install ublock origin in it, it’s great.
Maybe check outCromite, a bromite fork that’s updated still.
I use mull for regular browsing, but anything important, and by default, I use Vanadium (grapheneos only). At least until firefox gets site isolation on mobile
I have both chrome and firefox installed. Uses firefox more along with ublock origin addon.
