The only reason I haven’t switched to Firefox from Chrome fully is because for some reason Firefox for Android still doesn’t have tabs for large screen devices. Mozilla says it’s not a priority. 🤷

Yes, it really sucks. I am in the same boat. Samsung Internet on my tablet; really wish I had FF on it.

Firefox for Android removing the ability to open local html files killed it for me. Currently on Vivaldi.

If that’s your only gripe with it, you can still access them by using one of the simple web servers available running inside Termux, that will also allow you to avoid CORS related problems, in fact it is the currently suggested method on MDN

Why did they remove it though? I was surprised too when I found out I needed to run local webserver to access local html files

So use edge

Its chrome-based… but at least its not brave, and the adblocker(which is off by default…) is decent enough

If you think the things brave has done are bad, go read through the list of things microsoft has done. You really don’t want them to ever have a browser again, and certainly don’t want to personally use it.

I used Brave for a few years but recently switched to LibreFox. I really enjoyed Brave as a browser but couldn’t handle all the sketchy shit that seems to keep coming up

I really enjoy the chromium grouping of tabs. So much so that’s it’s almost a deciding factor for which browser I choose. I hope Firefox adds that feature soon, so the switch back feels easier

Try the Simple Tab Groups addon for Firefox. I’ve been using it for years and prefer it to any other tab grouping now.

Same. I had no idea about brave and I started using it full time on all my devices like a month ago. Guess I’m going back to Firefox. Which was fine.
