You have 10 seconds to explain why you're not using Mozilla

>>56078297
But I use it.

It's a laggy janky piece of shit made by SJWs. Installed it on my girlfriend's phone and she hated the choppy scrolling; for comparison Samsung Internet worked fine.

>>56078297

i have an iphone 5

>>56078297
Because I'm using Opera

>>56078297
>Firefox for Android
Lags.
>Google Chrome
Indeed, it has become shit somewhere around 2014 when they botched the new tab page. When they disabled "accessibility tab switcher" flag I fucking ditched it.
Using Opera currently.

Why the fuck do you think I'm using Chrome?

I am using Lightning with constant beta WebView updates, and I have AdAway installed.
I have used Firefox in the past and it is simply very inefficient on mobile devices.

>>56078297
i'm using #nochromo

>>56078297
>You have 10 seconds to explain why you're not using Mozilla Firefox for Android
But I am?
I don't have any add ons though. My phone has slow data, so I don't want to slow it down even further by having a bunch of add-ons (e.g. https everywhere would enforce https which is slower than http).

Firefox lags like shit on Android.

They ported the lagging feature to Windows too.

>>56078297
Because my porn lags on it.

>>56078424
how do I simply into beta WebView releases?

>>56078297
too heavy on my device, chrome or stock CM browser works better.


or at least the animations give that impression

>>56078672
Go to the WebView page on the Play Store (app) and scroll down. There should be a prompt to become a beta tester somewhere beneath the comments.

>>56078297
Why not use system level adblocking?

>>56078297
Because it lags
Because it uses a lot of RAM
Because the text on pages is unreadable (either too small or too big or both)
Because no text wrap

>>56079435
>both
Too small and too big?

I am, specifically because of Adblock (Rooting my phone is a massive pain, so no hostfile blocking)

>>56079449
Yes, Firefox suffers from inconsistent font sizes on many pages. This bug is 2 years old and still not resolved.

Because I already have AdAway and Chrome doesnt lag unlike firefag

>>56078398
there's firefox for ios

>>56079745

Firefox for iOS doesn't support JavaScript, which is what extensions for Firefox uses. Android supports this, not iOS.

>>56078297

I tried it and it was incredibly slow compared to Chrome and even the built in Android Browser.

>>56079463

You can use a localhost VPN based Adblock to do it without rooting.

I have to resort to that because my device is a Note 12 tablet and every rooting method people have has a bug where after rooting you will slowly start to get random device reboots more and more often until the device gets stuck in a boot loop.

Since it's a relatively uncommon tablet (Out of production, and most people don't like a 12" tablet) it never got much in the way of support from modding/rooting communities.

Videos seem to lag for me. Any idea how to fix?

I'm trying cyanogen browser with an adblocker but I think I'll go back to firefox. It's a lot better functionality-wise and performance-wise

>>56078297
I can only view 3 webms at a time on /gif/ before they stop loading and I have to refresh the page. Also it gets slow as fuck.

I feel like an old man stuck on old technology when I'm using ff as my android browser.

Recommendations?

>>56078297
I don't browse the web on my phone at all.

>>56080103
Looks smart and simple.

>>56078297
Because I use a Windows phone.

>>56080041
Lightning or Opera, really. Chrome is heavy as fuck.

>>56080121
Actually, I don't do it either (hell, I don't have a data plan). But who knows when you're gonna need to look something up when you're away from home. I'd rather be prepared.

In that veil, I also have an offline maps app downloaded as well. I do travel a lot around the local parts of the country, but I've never really needed to use a navigation app since I could always ask the villagers around to point me to said place..or I could just follow the signs around, basic stuff.

But what if I'm traveling at midnight? That happens quite often to me.

This is where the genius piece of programming called OSMAnd~ saved my butt twice. I usually navigate just fine during the night, but those two times I was very far away from the area I knew like my fingertips, and I was feeling quite tired. I had passed the signs which had pointed the location just like that.

You'd never expect you're gonna need it, but it can eventually save your ass.

>>56078649
Firefox is my porn browser tbf

i use the default browser no idea what its called

All my passwords are on chrome

>>56080103
what launcher and theme is this??

Because i use a much better browser that firesucks or chrome

Cuz laggy as shit

I haven't tired it for over a year, but it had a terrible tabs implementation.

>>56080294

>that paragraph of autism

gmaps literally has a fucking offline mode thats fully functional

I'm tempted to switch, but I kind of don't want to.

>slow and laggy when browsing
>videos stutter
>built in player is literal trash

Nightly fixes the video issues, but its still a lagfest and images don't load 90% of the time. I think I will stick to cyanogenmod browser.

>>56080326
yep same here only thing i use it for on my phone

>>56078297

only thing Firefox is good for is desktop downloading because its the only browser with a multi-threaded download extention with DTA, so far chrono on chrome is still only single threaded

i use icecat

>>56078297
Because with a 5.5 display you cant browse with only one hand, opera instead let you have all the commands and the tabs down and in reach of your thumb

>>56078297
>mobile browser extensions

>>56083941
This is my only problem with Firefox. If the tabs were at the bottom, it would be fantastic. Also the video ui is bad.

I still use it, though. There's really no replacement. There are no good android browsers. In fact, the only one that I tried that's really really good is UC Browser, but it's Chinese with serious security holes.

You have 10 seconds to explain why you are not using TugaBrowser or similar on your Android phone.

>>56085620
Tuga doesn't let me set startpage as my default search engine

Because I rooted my phone and installed system-level adblock, you putz.

>>56078297
I would but it crashes all the goddamn time.

I need performance when browsing on my phone broseph.

>>56085239
Stuck on a priv and miss pretty much everything about bb10. Even discounting the speed differences, who thought URL bars/control items at the top of the phone was a good idea?

Your phone is just shit.

Yep

JumpGo just went live on Fdroid and it's really good (based on Lightning with ad blocking built in). The only red flag is that it came with a Jehovah's Witness bookmark by default, holy shit can devs not bring that shit into their apps?

>>56085791
not that guy. I use it, but the scrolling gets pretty bad if I'm trying to read a long 4chan thread. It'll randomly accelerate and I'll lose where I was

I'm using dolphin.
BTW, what add ons you need on mobile?
I use none

>>56085791
And what makes your Xiaomeme not shit?

>>56086239

>>56086115
Lightning already has AdBlocking tho. Get it from F-Droid if you're a poor fuck or buy Lightning+ on Play Store. JumpGo has nothing new AFAIK.

>>56085791

>>56087556
Wait what?
Why couldn't you possibly root your phone? What model is your Samsung, and what Android version is it running?

Also, Europoor here, so I don't see why Verizon would prevent you from rooting your phone?

>No freedom on the land of the free

>>56087584
GS6 and it's past OE2/OC3 firmware it's not possible unless there's a method available that will unfortunately trigger knox.

Verizon is so anal about locking down every phone they carry because they don't want you to use features they lock behind a subscription to (i.e. hotspot/tethering) they'll do anything to prevent root/bootloader, and instantly patch any exploits found, unlike actually pushing important firmware updates. The best way around this would be to NOT get any phones directly from them. Which I failed to do last year. I plan to get either the new 2016 Nexus or OP3 sooner or later.

Why do people use Verizon then if they're this evil? The area coverage and the awesome LTE speed.

>>56087657
Jesus Christ that's terrible indeed.

But if you just get a phone from an OEM and not from your carrier, and then just use their SIM in it, there's nothing they can do. Right?

Reminder, google doesn't want to allow extensions on chrome because it would mean losing their ad revenue.

A perfect excuse would be "its not a priority" response.

>>56087752
Verizon and Sprint I believe use a different system outside of GSM called CDMA for their networks so it's not so easy to just slap the sim card into any phone and call it a day.

Or so I thought. Because I put my Verizon SIM card in my buddy's Nexus 6P and it worked flawlessly

>>56087763
They also don't want to have a platform competing with the Play store on Android. Google have turned extensions for Chrome into an app platform.

>>56087784
LTE requires a SIM card, so you can use a GSM SIM in a Verizon phone and a Verizon SIM in a GSM phone, but both will only work on 4G LTE networks.

I do use it, and I love it. However, it is a bit taxing on resources.

>>56087784
>Murica
Not even once.

>>56085791

Nova with Easy Circle icon pack.
>turn off dock
>apply icon pack
>turn off labels
>set swipe up gesture to open app drawer so no need for icon
>set desktop grid to 7 across and 9 down
I chose that shape because it's easy to access all apps with one hand. If you don't know what I'm talking about take your phone, open my screenshot, and swipe your thumb over it.

because Google Chrome is stock

>>56078297
Unlike desktops, mobile hardware is quite limited, and those extensions will cause more noticeable lag. What's the point of increased functionality when everything you do will be in slow-mo?

>>56078297
My phone is rooted and I use AdAway. Why the fuck should I use FiyyFox?

>>56078297
>tfw adaway
Pleb

>>56090610
>>56090630
AdAway doesn't block popups and javascript, where as something like uBlock does.

>>56090120
not really, so far it's much faster for me

>>56078297
But i do, ublock origin and https everywhere as addons.

>>56090120
Even on my shitty old phone it works fine. uBlock Origin is the only extension I use though.

But then again I don't spend all day web browsing on my phone, why would you do that when a desktop is 100 times comfier.

>>56078297
Cant save pictures, for some unknown reason.

because miui browser is a lot better

>>56091420
Are you trying to steal content, goy?

Nothing to steal, nothing to save.

Using firefox on android would mean using it on all my devices. I need tab/history/saved password syncing. I can just root my phone to have adblocking

>>56090645
Yes it doesn't block popups but it is system wide. The sites I usually browse don't have popups and such and I use firefox mobile with ublock for pron. The problem is that firefox lags on any site that doesn't have a special firefox mobile version.

>>56091475
No im trying to save fappables so I can view them on a larger screen, fapping off a phone screen sucks, since the screen is too small and I cant even keep it still when Im furiously beating my meat with my other hand. I blame the sjw culture.

>>56078297
I've never had any problems described ITT with mobile Firefox

It just werks

I use Firefox on android for porn but it crashes all the time.

I've tried using other browsers but the sites I visit all have pop ups that make them impossible to use without an adblocker.

>>56085620
It crashes frequently.

lol no it's not. you can move around browsing the web on mobile. you can go from your couch to your bed to standing to walking around all while browsing the web. that's one of the only things a mobile device has any sorta considerable advantage at.

Firefox is so laggy and slow.

Because I'm not a nigger
