A great video about the Manifest v3 and how Google is trying to make you view ads.

Yup, can say that firefox is quite a bit slower on android (but honestly it’s still quite ok, unless it decides to loop loading the page, or it bugs out in another way, at least on my phone it’s quite prone to breaking, for comparison brave is really a bit faster than Firefox
Yeah, it IS slower on android, but adblocking more than makes up for it IMO.
Also not only that, but the ability to let me choose if I want to open a link in an app or not, happens countless times with stuff like GitHub automatically wanting to redirect to the app (which sucks)
oh there was a bug a few versions back that did this, but it seems they fixed it now

Way faster when you consider time spent loading and navigating around all the fucking ads. The mobile web without adblock is a dumpster fire of the highest order.
Well of course, that’s why I compared brave and not chrome, although the brave adblock sucks sometimes
But yeah, the firefox on android is good enough to set it as a default browser (never actually noticed that the Google discover page just opens in chrome and ignores your default browser before doing this, interesting how some apps do this too)
Disable chrome/browser on android
Yeah the Google News app too. It’s fucking useless – any time you click something on it you get served up a page of nothing but ads, modals, autoplays, and other unusable crap. Bouncing around as it loads. I had to finally uninstall it and switch to just a bookmark on the homescreen instead.
