    What performance issues do you have with Fx? I use it daily and don’t really feel like it’s slower than Chrome.

      Unfortunately, Firefox is not as efficient as Chrome. On a battery powered devices this matters. Also it doesn’t have a native dark mode for web content.
      I’m this close to jumping the ship.

        Were having radically different experiences. Firefox consumes way less power than chrome on all my machines

        Firefox is the only mobile browser I am aware of that allows extensions (including adblockers), and this let’s the user add functionality like having dark mode everywhere, even on sites that normally wouldn’t allow it.

        Ahh, I see. I’m usually on desktop PCs and use solar power at home, so the efficiency is less of a concern.

        AFAIK the “auto dark mode” in Chrome is experimental and doesn’t work well on all sites. Have you tried Dark Reader on Firefox? More and more sites are adding native dark mode, too.
