Well fuck, what am I supposed to use? I use bitwarden for passwords, so that shit works everywhere, but I want a mobile browser and a desktop browser that share history. Being able to share tabs between devices is a nice bonus.
Firefox on mobile is hot garbage with infuriating UI bugs. I keep trying to switch to it, and keep switching away after a few days.
I'm sure as shit not going to Chrome.
What issues are you encountering on android Firefox? I've used Firefox + ublock for years and I don't think I have ever encountered an issue that was fixed by using chrome instead.
I've never had any big problems with Firefox Android either. I do prefer the Fennec branch though, since it's on F-Droid and has about:config
I use Firefox on iOS and grapheneOS and it works fine. UI is not as nice as others but it works. Never seen bugs personally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Isn't Firefox on iOS essentially a skinned Safari? Unless Apple has changed their stance, I thought all browsers had to use webkit?
I believe it is, yes.
Maybe I'm just cursed then. When full screening a video in landscape there's a 30% chance the tab will freak out and close. When I scroll sometimes the content doesn't move, but the menu bars show up as if I was scrolling. Trying to swipe through google images takes several tries before it will stick. These are just a few problems, I'm sure I've seen more.
What phone model are you using? Rooted?
Nope, just a regular s20+
Have you tried firefox focus?

May not be as ideal as it requires manual selection but Chromium has a visible share button for QR on the address bar. Or you can use Pushbullet/Join/KDE Connect to share links with your phone.
