That's not my favourite, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I used Chrome for a long time on desktop. Thanks for the info, though! I'm going to give it a shot for a few days, and see if I can live without tab syncing.
I love that they have bottom URL bar as an option though! One of my favourite additions to Firefox Mobile. Will make the switch a whole lot more comfortable. Thanks, god! ๐
Hmm. I just message things to my Telegram "Saved Messages" and copy them on phone and viceversa. Then again I haven't ever been able to rely on Firefox tab sync cuz it was buggy when i switched to kiwi, if it's better now idk how much better it is than my method. Anyway I have tested Firefox recently for a few things I do like reading novels and Kiwi works much better for the same purpose today.
i.e. when firefox loses cache it kills a tab and it takes several seconds, like 6, to reload it, and it's not as pleasant as the kiwi experience, which although it does kill inactive tabs to save memory/battery, it reloads them much faster and efficiently than firefox.
anyway i wish you good luck in your experiments and if you remember lmk what u decide in the end.
I've been using Kiwi as my daily driver on Android since, and I must say, I'm a big fan! Being able to have any extension has been fantastic. The biggest thing I'm missing from Firefox, is the integrated reader mode button. Trying to read any article on the modern Internet, without a reader mode, is an absolute nightmare. I've been using Article Reader, and Google's Android-wide Reader view app as replacements, as I couldn't find a Chrome extension that worked well enough in Kiwi, and while they're not nearly as seamless, they've served their purpose. Thanks again for the rec!
