    That’s fair. Firefox hasn’t sprung up too many issues for me either. But it does occur and occasionally adds some annoyance if it’s a site you need. For me especially Firefox on IPhone is annoying to work with at times. Which is why I have other browsers on my phone as well. But for desktop, generally works fine.

      I honestly don’t think I found a website that doesn’t work in Firefox for years. But I agree that it can be really annoying, I hope more people adopt Firefox (or it’s engine at least).

      As for your iPhone issue: Well Apple doesn’t really allow any other browsers on iOS, AFAIK it’s all just Safari under the hood with a skin on top.

        That’s interesting to know. Maybe that’s why add-ons don’t work in Firefox iOS or iPad OS.

        I hope people do too. I am a Waterfox lover myself and it works great for the most part.

        And huh, interesting. Good to know. Might just be a safari issue then. Idk. I for some reason thought that had changed, but could be wrong.

      iPhone’s Firefox is still safari under the hood, but without the support of being a native app on top of it.

      At the moment, it’s ok, I also have problems, but it’d be great if iOS opened up more and allowed a real Firefox browser to exist.

        I see. Alright.

        But yeah, would be great to see that. Maybe if they get through with side loading being natively supported things will open up a bit. Tbh I am just waiting to get my android fixed or a new android device or Pinephone.

          Yeah that’d be great. Then we could get extensions on mobile.

          I just use whatever phone is cheaper, and a family member had just upgraded their iPhone. Gotta say, it’s been reliable at least.
