There is no tablet UI (yet, they seem to be finally working on it after years of users waiting). Firefox for Android is clearly languishing, and being lapped by various Chromium-based browsers.

Google and Mozilla in unison, reminded that some crazy people buy tablets: "oh yeah, huh"

Though mobile FF is miles ahead imo, since you can't have extensions on mobile chrome, it's not even in the running. FF just launched a few hundred more add-ons for mobile like two months ago, but there have been a dozen+ ones for a few years now. uBO > no uBO, full stop, no question. And Privacy Possum, and Dark Reader, and CleanURLs, and...

E: oh and forks of FF having about:config access is just chefs kiss

Google has actually been putting a lot more energy into tablets lately. And that's not counting foldables

I've never used it on a tablet. On my phone it is a way better experience for me compared to something like Cromite. It just is much simpler in terms of UI. (I actually use Mull but it is the same in most regards)

Yes, I use it on a phone, where it is the best browser available despite its flaws
