video is uploaded here

sorry I wasn't sure where to upload the video running a pixel 7 pro it's hard to come across on video but it is there. hitching/jittery/lag on ff, perfectly smooth on chrome

i'm surprised by the comments, everyone has been having mixed results

I think because of the JS framework it's using is causing performance issues. Ironic because the website claims 98/100 performance score - the highest of all those that they tested. It works perfectly smoothly on Chrome for me. A simple page like that should not lag/hitch at all.

Ah I see what you mean. Yeah I even had a quick look at the beta version where you are able to access the about:config and I couldn't find an obvious config setting for this either. Firefox on mobile definitely isn't perfect and especially if you have a specific use case. Just a suggestion that may be an alternative for you: if you press settings then add to home screen, does that hone screen shortcut work for you?

Massive lag on scrolling. Are you not seeing this? I'll record the screen in a minute.

You can literally customise it to show the home button. I know because I have done this.

I think you mean mull not mullvad :) Mullvad does not have a browser, the privacy hardened Firefox mobile fork available on F-Droid is actually called Mull and is not related to Mullvad in any way. It confused me too at first.

Some websites are much worse than others. https://astro.build/ as an example. Try scrolling up and down on that website on Firefox vs Chrome (mobile).

It was the distinct lack of autocorrect 😜 For years now I have disabled autocorrect for this reason. Yes, I still make some small mistakes here and there but it forces me to be careful with what I type and to quickly check before I send. That way I don't have a situation where I've typed something expecting autocorrect to save me but it doesn't.

I've been using Firefox on desktop and mobile exclusively for a number of years now. I will say the experience isn't perfect but it's better than using a browser made by a company that is actively hostile to its users.

It is important to take note that you will experience issues with some websites. For example, https://astro.build/ Try scrolling quickly up and down on this page on Firefox vs Chrome (on mobile).

This is the most frustrating experience with DDG and I have no idea why they do it or if you can disable it.

The community around here generally lands on Mullvad or Proton.

My vote (and money) goes with Proton and I'll briefly explain why. It ticks all the boxes regarding being independently audited, state of the art crypto, port forwarding, etc. However, the thing that I find extremely important is jurisdiction.

Switzerland has some of the strongest privacy laws in the world, is outside the EU, and isn't a member of any mass surveillance alliances. Proton VPN keeps no logs that can compromise your privacy and under Swiss law we can't be obligated to start logging.

In my assessment Swiss law seems to have the strongest legal guarantees which are just as important as technical ones. There are a lot of jurisdictions that require government cooperation under gag orders. Even without cooperation, the spy agencies can go and tamper with the hardware anyway. Switzerland isn't part of the global surveillance machinery.

Mullvad is based in Sweden which Snowden revealed cooperates with the 5 eyes nations (e.g., NSA, GCHQ, etc). I completely trust Mullvad from a technical perspective, but there is nothing stopping spy agencies from infiltrating them against their knowledge.

Also with Proton you get a suite of services included which is very nice.

Does anyone have/anyone seen commentary regarding the fact that in the days before the firing, OpenAI suspended signups to ChatGPT Plus? It seems relevant but I've not seen anyone make that connection.
