I disabled Brave shields to use this site and then my phone turned into an air fryer from all the bloatware it was loading. Temps went up like 20 DC.

The spite I have for fandom… is… so… intense

Numbers go brrrr

Have you tried Firefox on Android? You can actually have plugins. It's the only mobile browser I know of that supports that.

I haven't had your issue with Firefox getting slower though. I use Zen, but it's still Firefox and it seems fine. Maybe it's just the mainline branch getting slower? Could it be AI? Do you have it toggled off?

I tried literally everything (troubleshooting mode, uninstall all extensions, use the default state on a new profile, use the default state on a fresh install, use arkenfox user.js, etc) before installing brave origin. Even tried Librewolf. But seems like a Gecko issue for me. I was later told to diagnose what is slowing it down using the network tab but I had already switched by then and didn't want to troubleshoot anymore when Brave Origin works flawlessly for me.

Also on Android I don't need any plugins other than an ad-blocker which brave has built in. Only downside to Brave is that I have to turn off their Crypto bullshit. So yeah brave ticks all the boxes for me currently.

I didn't think I needed plugins on mobile until I had the option. I still don't have as many as desktop, but there are some incredibly useful ones. things like Indie Wiki Buddy, for avoiding Fandom, as an example.

My use-case for browsers is just searching stuff, opening a website, reading stuff—the basics. Even on desktop the only extensions I use other than ad-blockers are Bitwarden, Sponsor Block and Return YT dislikes.

Since you're into YouTube extensions, also consider adding Enhancer for YouTube and DeArrow. The former adds more features to the player (my favorite is the ability to fine-tune playback speed with the scroll wheel), and the latter removes the clickbait thumbnails and returns to the old method of auto-generating the thumbnail (taking a screenshot of an interesting segment of the video and using that as the thumbnail, just like the old days). That way the content has to actually be interesting before I consider clicking on it.

And on Android the only thing you need is YouTube Morphe, which is a modded version of the YT app that includes an adblocker, SponsorBlock, DeArrow, Enhancer, an AI slop filter—and so much more—built right into the app. It's a must-have for any Android user who watches YouTube.
