How come?

If I remember, that setting is extremely aggressive, and breaks lots of sites. Firefox has by default, a more complicated and nuanced feature that works practically as well, without breaking everything.

So is Firefox mobile or Fennec actually better in this regard?

In that specific regard, probably.
I use Fennec. I’ve found the more security minded versions, tend to have problems with some site or another, and annoy me.

I noticed that the sites that have issues are the sites I should avoid.

After a while, you just don’t need them if you are willing to make the changes needed to reduce that corpo exposure

Sites like my banks, and local movie theaters, and self hosted VTT games.
I’ve had issues with all. Not acceptable
