MutantTailThingWhat's wrong with Brave browser?
AppoxoBecause crypto bro behaviour and I can install ublock in my firefox browser in both android and desktop.
What makes/does Brave better?
All those browser extensions you need to make Firefox private ends up fingerprinting you. Brave has all of that by default, so sites of sites can’t easily differentiate you from other Brave users.
Also, Firefox still doesn’t have tab groups on mobile. Chromium has had that feature for years and Firefox hasn’t bothered to keep up at all. That’s a non-starter for me
gwl [he/him]Then switch to a Firefox forum built in security rather than a Slop Browser built on data mining you (that’s all the built-in AI is) and that’s not supporting crypto shit
You’re forgetting the major point that Firefox still doesn’t have tab groups on mobile. That’s a complete dealbreaker. If they can’t be bothered to do that I would honestly be better off running Tor
Tried to see if there’s a browser extension for that?
Also, this really feels like the one meme from community.
You’re the blonde girl right now
Have you not been paying attention to Mozilla lately? They’re barely any better on this.
And on the racism point, we’re talking about an internet browser. If you’re going that far you’d have to throw out the Call of Cthulu rpg because Lovecraft was a racist or stop driving cars because Henry Ford was a Nazi.
We’re comparing 2 different browsers, and the one everyone is recommending here (Firefox) is filling itself with AI and ads just like the one you’re all bashing. The only difference is one has a feature that I can’t do without, and Mozilla has been completely dropping the ball for years at catching up.
Get your red herring bullshit out of here.
And FYI, don’t bother responding. You’re clearly not arguing in good faith and you’re not worth wasting any more time on
Then just use a fork.
Why would you want tab groups on mobile? There is no real estate available to bother.
Also, on mobile, Firefox focus is the best general purpose browser when you are just looking up things. Adblock is built in, all cookies are dropped on close.

You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about
I think I do, but enlighten me. I don’t even bother with tabs on mobile why would I bother with groups? There just isn’t enough room to manage them.
Monkeys is just butthurt that they’re wrong
On Chromium, when you’re in a tab group you get a narrow toolbar on the bottom to quickly swap between tabs or even close tabs. When looking something up, you can pick 2-3 pages in the results to open up in the group and flip between them quickly to compare and build consensus. Without that on Firefox, switching between tabs takes 3 taps and it’s really annoying.
In addition, tab groups end up filling the same function as separate browser windows. They server as a way to scroll through tab topics in a very condesned manner, since I can have one tab group for Skyrim mods, another for gardening, one for 3D printing, etc. So then you scroll for topics instead of having to scroll past 20 tabs on one topic, 12 tabs on another, etc.
What I personally don’t get is why Mizilla insisted on implemented them on desktop instead. Tab groups are just redundant in that application. Maybe someone else finds a use for them (and that’s good), but it’d be better for them to fill out a missing niche first before adding more.
Chromium
Where do you get chromium? I looked at Fdroid but didnt see it.
I stick to what I said, on mobile I hardly ever use the browser except for the one thing I am looking at. So I don’t group tabs, or even use tabs at all.
I can appreciate that your use case on a mobile browser is very different than mine. Sounds like Firefox did miss the mark for you.
Thanks for the reply.
