Safari’s bottom tab bar is the best UX I’ve seen on mobile.
I can achieve most browsers interactions from my thumb without repositioning my hand!
Firefox mobile look like a dev opened it in an android simulator googled “hi” then checked the box “available for mobile”
The downvotes are because your comment isn't really relevant to the topic
And is also incorrect, since Firefox not only has that feature, but prompts you if that's what you want when you first open the app.
You can change the position of the toolbar to the bottom.
Neat! Just gave it a try and it’s much better now, one issue I miss is you can’t swipe on the address bar to go to the next/prev tab
You'll find that under settings -> customise -> swipe address bar sideways to switch tabs
You can change that as well. :)
Maybe on android but not on iOS
Plus if you don’t have any next tab the swipe creates a new tab instead
Unless you use the synchronization features of Firefox, I think it would be best to use safari on IOS.
At least until they bring their own engine to the OS.
My reasoning: None offer content blocking, you get better fingerprinting protection with safari and you have one less application.
Safari offers ad blocking on iOS. You just have to get your extensions through the App Store. But other browsers don’t (yet).
FF Nightly has Safari layout since v130. Use that if you like Safari but are on Android.
oooh, I haven't checked the new layout on my phone, only on the tablet. that's sleek!
You're being downvotes because it's irrelevant and you're claiming a feature that also exists in Firefox is the reason your preferred browser is better. It makes no sense.
Fair I guess I read the other comment and the commented on the main thread incorrectly
