I run IronFox for Android and Librewolf on Desktop. Since they are both Firefox forks, migrating is not that bad.

    I don't mean to disagree with you, but isn't IronFox pretty slow? I was using it for like one to two weeks after I got an Android, but I switched to Bromite because of the horrible performance. Maybe it's because of my devuce though (I'm running an 2018 second-hand Pixel 3a with EvoX)

    I don't feel it is particularly slow, but I have a Pixel 7. It may be slow on 7 years old HW unfortunately :( Chromium is probably better optimized.

    I got used to bottom bar on Firefox and since then, I am unable to use Chromium based browsers on mobile. It is just so bad to have the bar at the top. So Bromite is not an option for me.

    Oh so it's my device issue. My apologies.

    You get the option to move the tab bar to the bottom in Cromite (it was cromite not bromite), btw.

    Well, I would say it is a combination on both. Your device reveals it is slower. No need to apologize. :)

    If I test it on my phone, Vanadium is also a lot faster, it's just that IronFox is not so slow I would care.
