Pretty interesting analysis from TechAltar about Mozilla usage and revenue trends, which aren’t as dire as they’re often made out to be, but how the search placement deal with Google is indeed endangered, which may be pushing them to their recent embrace of adtech as a new revenue source
Mozilla lost the Internet because mobile became the most common way to go online, and Mozilla (at least on Android) had been an absolute dumpster fire for years. I tried it a few times, but it would just randomly freeze for a few seconds for no reason. But I could switch to another browser and keep going at the same moment when Firefox froze so it wasn’t a phone issue.
Firefox for Android has always worked great for me. I prefer it because I can install the same privacy plugins as for desktop. And they also have Firefox Focus is also great.
Firefox-based browsers on Android lack Site Isolation. Who protects you against a malicious site performing a Spectre-like attack to gain access to the memory of another website you have open. That’s the biggest reason I don’t use Firefox mobile.
This is weird to hear… I’ve never had these issues on my android phones.
One of the few supporrting extensions on mobile and also you can move the toolbar to bottom to reach it with your thumb like a normal human and do not have to lift your hand to reach it like in Chrome mobile?
