Maybe try the testing branch (called 'Firefox for testers', or better yet, fennec)?

I'm using Firefox Nightly on Android, there is not other bleeding edge branch. On desktop the story is completely different. Listen, I'm not here because of the politics. Eich is shit because his postures about gay marriage, we all know that. I am here exclusively to talk about performance and what is the better tech stack of browsers.

Cool man, I agree on Eich, not that I was aware of it at all before. It's tragic how politics complicates everything for all the wrong reasons.

I don't know what the best tech stack is (esp. on mobile), and I've always hated how mobile-based Firefox struggles to go full screen with videos half of the time.

I think fennec is just a fork that removes some Mozilla tracking, possibly only available via FDroid(?). It's no different really...
