Firefox for Android does not support Material UI, has a low minimum API level, and generally seems lacking in features. Why is that?

Edit 1: also the downloading function is super unstable, I lost several files due to firefox starting the download then stopping and removing the download for no reason.

Chromium browsers are much worse in my experience. They don't even support extensions

Internet without full on uBlock Origin is crazy full of ads.

fyi cromite and bromite allow to disable cookies, javascript, popups, ads, and autoplay. (per site and global)
similar to noscript maybe.
i would rather have more or full control like ublock or umatrix.

I've been using Firefox and Ublock origin on my Samsung a70 for a long time. I'm :).

Ad block alone is a big performance boost, which is especially noticeable on mobile. I can't stand using my wife's phone (iPhone) because of the ads on the browser.
