There is a 4 word phrase that encapsulates what happened to Firefox. I won't post it, but it began with how they did Eich and with how they're rewarding whoever that new "CEO" is.

As a 15+ year Firefox user, I finally gave up and moved to Brave. Good riddance.

I find Brave customization abysmal (plus their crypto and other stuff makes them kinda shady), tried it and you could not customize even basic things, Vivaldi offers much more options.

For Android I recommend kiwi browser, only browser with proper extension support.

Thanks for the Kiwi hint! Exploring it now.

Their "crypto stuff" is opt-in and enables you to view ads, earn crypto and give it to content creators. I don't use it, but it's a cool feature to provide for those who want it. Even cooler is being able to access huge parts of the internet (Web 3 and alternate protocols in general) not accessible with other browsers.
