I keep accidentally tapping it when trying to tap at the end of the address to edit it. Currently this is my biggest struggle with Firefox.

I just started using FUTO, text to speech is a bit slower than g board but works about as well.

Swipe and word prediction seems to work just about the same as Gboard

I've configured mine to look so similar it looks almost the same (amoled dark theme, number row, symbol hints, reduce press delay to 150ms)

Biggest thing I miss is gif search, I switch to gboard for that then switch back.

About as well? Futo is running locally, i.e. on your smartphone, as opposed to getting uploaded to Google and then processed there.

Ya, on my pixel 8 pro, futo Takes just slightly longer to process Compared to Google, but the accuracy at the end seems to be the same. The difference in speed is really not very significant But it is noticeable.
