I have been using Firefox on my laptop and vivaldi on mobile, but would like to use firefox on mobile too. The “problem” I have encountered while trying to switch to it on mobile is that the scrolling is laggy, not so “smooth” as it is while using vivaldi. Could it be that certain setting (that I have not noticed, or do not know about) is causing the not so smooth scroll behavior? My device is a Samsung phone and android.

    I think that may be just Firefox… I feel like Vivaldi is snappier, but I still choose Firefox because it’s not Chromium. And uBlock works here :)

      That’s the reason for me too to use it, and it works like a dream on my laptop. But maybe I have to give a try for some of the Firefox derivative as someone suggested there 🤔

    IronFox, Fennec (F-Droid), Waterfox and IceRaven are all community-maintained Firefox forks that you could try. They are all built around privacy, some more than others, they all have different design approaches for user needs, but are worth checking out.

      I quit using fennec because they recently added Mozilla AI features but I still use the other three for various different things on mobile and have nothing but great things to say so far
