what i don't get is all the people complaining about google and at the same time using their browser...

i believe that trying to steer masses away from chrome would be more useful in the long run than trying to make it work

Firefox has absolutely destroyed the battery of most mobile devices I've tried it with. Any ideas on fixes to get it at least to parity with chrome? In-use power metrics seem fine, but if I let it sit Chrome will allow the system to go into low power/sleep while firefox tends to just keep things running somehow? (Not sure why there's down votes here... I use Firefox by default whenever I'm on desktop and this is a real issue I experience on my mobile systems (M1 pro mac, Intel/Windows laptop, M1 iPad pro, and amd/Linux (steamdeck)). I'm also genuinely interested in solution recommendations... Like I get you love Mozilla and firefox, I do too, but I can't substitute one for the other when it causes a significant shift in my device use paradigm.) (For the continued down votes, 1. You're the reason people don't want to use software you like 2. I've tested this on my machines and it's very real, only occurring when firefox is running and not related to system settings).

Ok you’re back to zero again bro haha. Oh always use my safari btw

Yeah, I tend to use a mix. Safari for the Apple devices since it gets first class citizenship seemingly, then Firefox on anything stationary, and then Chromium on mobile.
