I use essentially all OSs and I want a browser with basic features like adblocking/custom filters on all the platforms and currently Firefox fails this on iOS devices.
Still I believe the Firefox sync is much more robust than eg. Brave one , among various platforms.
But then I will also need Firefox to fix keyboard shortcuts on Android which they had until the Fenix rebase some years ago and still haven’t fixed since
- mmooss 5mo agoWhat is the use case for keyboard shortcuts on handheld devices? On desktops/laptops, keyboard shortcuts save reaching for a mouse, aiming (on the relativley large screen), and clicking. On handhelds, I don't think it's faster to use a shortcut than to simply tap something an inch away. Also, on handhelds, the keyboard blocks a significant part of the screen. And keyboard shortcuts typically use accelerator keys, which are hard to use on handhelds. Do you use Android with a physical keyboard?
- gbear605 5mo agoCould be referring to a physical keyboard attached to an iPad
- JoshTriplett 5mo agoI have a physical keyboard for my foldable. Works great, except that keyboard shortcuts don't typically work as expected.
- catlikesshrimp 5mo agoYes, I do, now on then. I started using a keyboard on handhelds with my palm m100, so I am not in the mayority.
- gbil 5mo agoI use an Android tablet with detachable keyboard and works great also with Samsung DEX if you want something more for basic multitasking and there i want the shortcuts, I actually used it a lot, before firefox switched to Fenix base, for navigating tabs, opening closing them really really smooth but then....

As someone who bought an HTC Dream / Android G1 when it was new, and wishes more handhelds had a similar form factor, this comment depresses me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Dream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Dream
- ihutgckmig 5mo agoBack when Android had an actually pretty and unique UI. Good times.
- bartvk 5mo agoSame, I'd love for the iOS version to be a little more developed. Especially support for plugins for dark mode and stuff. Safari for iOS does.
- Pay08 5mo agoDoesn't iOS restrict all browsers to using WebKit?
- Hizonner 5mo agoYep, but your typical Apple user is happy to blame everybody but themselves and Apple.
- ihutgckmig 5mo agoOnly because your typical non-Apple user is almost always the one trying to enforce non-Apple standards onto Apple hardware and software.
