If you're on Android, I highly recommend the Samsung browser. It's based on Chromium and has support for adblocking extensions (adguard is pretty good). The dark mode is also the best one I've ever seen on a mobile browser.
I like the Samsung browser too. I got sick of all the clutter and just pitched the other browsers off my phonr=e (pera, Brave, etc.), and disabled Chrome.
I'm not using any mobile browser which can't sync (passwords, history, bookmarks) with my desktop browser. Firefox serves that purpose well and can block ads.

With some plugins to filter out the worst.
I'm not expecting it to catch everything and it's a challenge. But at least I can completely ignore Facebook.
More and more sites are today designed with JavaScript and that's just to punch holes in the privacy filtering - not to make pages/sites more useful.

As soon as they fix Firefox for Android on the Pixel phones I'll switch to it on desktop as well. Until then I'm stuck on Chrome.

What's wrong with Firefox on Android? I'm using it and not complaining, not on a pixel though.

Font inflation is messed up, so it ends up with many websites (including Slashdot) being unreadable.

I never noticed. Even reading slashdot. Must not be that bad.

No about:config and only a couple of extensions allowed. Other than that it's OK.

It has support for ad blocker (unlike chrome), so that's good enough for me.

I'd need a very good reason to use a browser which is only available on devices from a single vendor anyways.
Re: (Score:2)
It's not tied to a single vendor's phone ecosystem. It's on Google Play. I'm on a OnePlus and can get it fine.

Strange; I exclusively use Firefox on a Pixel and have never noticed such a flaw. (Or any flaw, really.)
Though your link (below) refers to a Pixel 5.

I can confirm that the same bug affects by Pixel XL. Maybe it's only the XL due to the screen size/resolution combo?

Is Adblock Browser, based on Chrome, any good?
Re: (Score:2)
It looks dodgy. AdBlock as a whole is a bit dodgy, stick to Firefox and uBlock I think.
