  Firefox + ublock origin + android is the best browsing experience on mobile.

  To expand on your second point in case anyone isn’t sure what you mean:

  Different browsers render webpages slightly differently, because they use different “engines”. The most popular browsers are Chrome or Edge, both of these which use the Blink engine, whereas Firefox uses a different engine called Gecko.

  Web developers want their websites to work for most people, so they develop websites that are optimized to run in Blink, which means they sometimes don’t look as intended on Gecko (Firefox). It’s not Firefox’s fault that developers are doing this – of course developers want to reach the most users possible. There’s nothing wrong with Gecko, either – if it were more popular, then developers would build sites for it instead of for Blink. But, this issue of sites breaking can sometimes turn people off.

  (Conversely, I develop for Firefox first, so sometimes webpages I make don’t render properly in Chrome/Edge. That’s not ideal, but I don’t care much. I think Gecko is the better + more consistent engine, and I’m not interested in chasing mass appeal.)

  Cromite on Android checks both those boxes. Ad blocking isn’t great, but the developer isn’t Brave.

  Firefox + uBlock Origin might be better if you haven’t tried that specific extension before. It works more than okay for me, but I realize YMMV and that’s especially true for non-flagships

    Cromite doesn’t seem to allow opening supported links in other apps for some reason

  While it’s a Firefox fork, Ironfox works great for me.

    for mobile, but for desktop theres like zen,floorp, “librefox, maybe”,etc. they all still depend on mozilla to survive though.

  Ever since I switched to GrapheneOS, Vanadium has been working well. Never had a problem with Firefox + ublock, or Librewolf (except with a corporate intranet webapp that specifically required users to use Chrome).

  Set your render scale to 50%

  So you can get good old desktop pages 🥰
