      I tried Ironfox for several weeks some months ago. I like the project, but it was painfully slow, mainly because it disables JIT and some other things. (Brave also has a JIT-less mode, but I found it to be faster than Ironfox.)

      Also, it comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled, which is good, but the devs enable by default a ton of lists, which contributes to the slowness. I suppose that if you have a fast device it won’t matter, but on a low to mid-range device it becomes unbearable. The best you can do is disable the preinstalled lists and use one of the modes recommended by uBlock.

        I use Ironfox also mainly for the plugins. I have the personal stuff on my phone over Tor since I don’t want to pay for a VPN, and I’ve noticed that Ironfox is a lot slower than Vanadium/Cromite for that setup.

  Vivaldi for me.

  It is based on Opera, but is nothing like the Opera company, does a really good job at blocking ads out of the box and is lighter in ram than FF android.

    Is there a mobile version for this yet?

      I dont think so, sorry for misleading you

        no it’s fine, I thought you had the inside scoop there for a sec 😅 I’m sure we’ll see an android build eventually.

        either way, I think we’re pretty well served for Firefox forks across desktop and mobile

  Waterfox but it's not on fdroid so you have to use Obtainium or something like it if you don't want to get it from the Play store
