What should I use instead of Firefox on Android?

2•trystrawberries•1h ago
I have been using Firefox as my main browser on Android for as long as I can remember basically. But the most recent update got rid of one of my most beloved features in a browser (or maybe I've just gotten too old to find it?); reloading a page. I didn't even realize how often I reload webpages until that possibility was gone.

I am sick of the enshitification of Firefox and this was the final straw. So, what browser(s) do you recommend for me to use instead?

Requirements: * Privacy aware. * User friendly. * Installs via the Play store or whatever the name is nowadays. I am definitely too old for any alpha version that I have to build myself using some obscure SDK. * Has a reload button!!

Just realized that there is a bug issue open at bugzilla on the missing reload feature, guess I'm not too old then ... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2021625

IronFox. It's based on Firefox but has way, way better privacy defaults, and yes, it retains the reload/stop button.

But it's not on the Play Store sorry. I mean, Google doesn't respect your privacy, so it makes sense you can't find IronFox on it.

You can install it from F-Droid/Droid-ify or Obtanium, where you can find all the real privacy-respecting and non-enshittified apps.

if you have an android, use google chrome which is an obvious choice and default aswell for many android users.

There's "pull to refresh", and a refresh button on the "three dots" menu. Hardly seems like a reason to abandon Firefox.
