Honestly the lack of ad blockers in Vanadium pushes me towards Firefox even though the devs say that Firefox is far less secure. So many web sites are just hard to use on mobile without an ad blocker so I'm curious what the rest of you are doing.

Except for gecko mobile not having per-site process issolation (Fission) I get it though, its has good anti fingerprinting, isnt chromium, and has compatibility with Firefox addons (you can get around the mobile only requirement by importing a custom collection, which iirc requires Dev mode)

The amount of Firefox fanboys who will get mad at you for mentioning Android Firefox missing per-site process isolation. I've basically made the choice to not mention it anymore because I always get harassed whenever I do lol...

Firefox on desktop is awesome, Mobile should be avoided.

fission is functional with no noticeable issues on Firefox mobile as of like ~ff115/116. it just has to be manually enabled in about:config.

Its considered a highly experimental feature, so enabling it could result in unknown issues or even security issues.

Also Firefox still lacks isolatedProcess https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1565196

I'd imagine Firefox would enable Fission by default if it was actually ready.
