Because Firefox Android sucks, no trolling. It's slow and in some pages, specially with video DRM don't even work. Two, there are features lacking on Firefox for few use cases like clipboard with VNC "Your browser is not configured to allow access to your computer's clipboard". Besides, people here are so politically biased that they are capable of justify some crap that comes with Firefox such as pocket full of ads, ads by default on Android in the main page, and other less "shady" things, like Mozilla CEOs salary. I will be open to considerate again by default if Firefox Android receives a great performance upgrade. Something that I liked about brave here is that they said it will support MV2 extensions when MV3 comes.
Maybe try the testing branch (called 'Firefox for testers', or better yet, fennec)?
I'm using Firefox Nightly on Android, there is not other bleeding edge branch. On desktop the story is completely different. Listen, I'm not here because of the politics. Eich is shit because his postures about gay marriage, we all know that. I am here exclusively to talk about performance and what is the better tech stack of browsers.
