do you have night reader or any other extensions that the browser would load before the website? Also if you don’t give something like iceraven a shot, it’s on fdroid and has more extension support and other things like about:config available.
I find it quick enough. Which device do you have? I have P30 Lite with Kirin 710.
Oh also, I use old Fennec 68, Firefox Quantum Beta, Firefox Klar, Kiwi Browser (only Chromium mobile browser with extensions besides non-FOSS Yandex), Lightning and Opera Mini. Just for reference (and compartmentalised purposes).
Not anymore, just extremely convoluted, if I remember correctly.
You can add any extension beyond those provided directly by the browser, but you need to go to the mozzila add-ons page, add the extensions you want to a collection, get the collection code and add it to your browser (which itself is a hidden option). So yeah, pretty much unacessible to the average user.
That hidden menu for adding the extension collection is even disabled on the official Firefox Stable build (it’s available in the Fennec build from F-Droid or Firefox Nightly), because yeah, they don’t want people just adding random extensions to their Android Firefox, which may have varying degrees of quality (from being outright unusable on mobile to just degrading performance).
Oh, I didn´t know they disabled it on Firefox (I´ve been using Fennec for a while now). It makes sense they do so (I personally don´t even use this method for extensions, all I use on Android is uBlock and Dark Reader), considering how bad of an installation method it is.
Good, atleast people will support Firefox (even though its mobile extension support is quite crippling right now).
Firefox on Android is itself a crippling experience. It is unfortunately still too slow; yet I am using it for the sake of sending tabs feature.
Edit: grammar

Nope, that is just plain Fennec F-Droid with uBO (webrender enabled)
I’ve been using it for a couple of years now, and works fine on my pixel 2.

Samsung a30s. For the reference, latest Firefox loaded southparkstudios.com in 19 seconds while Bromite took only 8.
I have run it in a BQ Aquaris U Plus, a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a Samsung Galaxy S2 perfectly.
It already runs perfectly; this is not a bug we are talking about. It is just that Gecko is slower compared to Blink/WebKit.
Ahhh, but why bother on that if its something that doesn’t affect normal use?
I don’t understand people who buy something “better” when they don’t need nor use their features.
What about Firefox blocking a bunch of 3rd party domains with uBO? Bromite lacks that.
Yes, that is why I was using Ungoogled Chromium Extensions
