I've been using Firefox as my main browser for a long time. Sites that don't work in FF are very rare. If it's something I really need to access, I just use chrome/edge for that particular site. But as I said, it happens rarely, and there's an easy way to work around it.

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.

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.
