    This is great but I literally can’t use the base app on my S20. Like clicking on Google search hits causes the app to freeze. Trying to scroll up on a page triggers a reload 30% of the time. I want to use Firefox but it’s nowhere near good enough, and adding extensions on top of that state is not going to help.

      Do you have the “Google Search Fixer” add-on? If so, it’s a known issue. Until it’s fixed, do not click any images on the first page, only after changing to the “images” category.

      Neither of those things happens with me. Was this something recent? Could possibly be something in the settings if you want to try resetting to default.

      While Firefox mobile always had ublock origin, I don’t think I could use a mobile browser without UBO. Having a banner, autoplay video and many interstitial ads pop up on an already small screen would make the web unusable. It also deals with annoyances on like Fandom’s featured videos, Reddit mobile’s shenanigans, etc. So even if I had those issues, I’d probably work through them for the extensions

        Same here, I’ve never had an issue and I’ve been using Firefox on my phones since the galaxy note 4

        I’m using brave mixed with a network wide and blocker, so while it’s nice that Firefox has UBO I’m fine without. Firefox has been presenting these issues every time I’ve tried switching, so for about a year now, so no not a recent issue.

      I use Firefox nightly and it’s sold for me, but I have also had my app freeze on Google search once. It would amaze me if there were not aware of this and were trying to figure it out
