    What makes Firefox on mobile complete garbage security wise? Genuinely curious.

      According to the GrapheneOS docs

      Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android.

      Apparently Firefox’s sandbox is still substantially weaker than chromium and it is currently much more vulnerable to exploitation.

        Oh that’s right. I read the same thing some time ago and had completely forgotten. Thanks for bringing it up.

      I guess you could argue that having ublock is a pretty big deal for security though. Regardless I won’t consider an alternative unless it offers ublock, even if ux or security is better - happy to sacrifice convenience for privacy and usability.
