    No need to wait, Firefox is already a strong competitor (in terms of features, not market share). Adblock on Firefox mobile makes mobile sites so much easier to use.

      I don’t know how people navigate the internet without adblock on mobile. Each website is a nightmare with the majority of the screen being ads.

        Yeah, ff mobile may be complete garbage UX/security wise, but its the only usable mobile browser IMO, simply because of ublock support.

            According to the GrapheneOS docs

            > Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android.

            Apparently Firefox’s sandbox is still substantially weaker than chromium and it is currently much more vulnerable to exploitation.

              Oh that’s right. I read the same thing some time ago and had completely forgotten. Thanks for bringing it up.

            I guess you could argue that having ublock is a pretty big deal for security though. Regardless I won’t consider an alternative unless it offers ublock, even if ux or security is better - happy to sacrifice convenience for privacy and usability.
