Right now, my default is Cromite, and I occasionally use Brave as well. I have tried Firefox with uBO, but unfortunately it is slower than the aforementioned browsers and also lacks some features. I’ve also heard that Gecko-based browsers in general have a security issue on Android, but I don’t know the details. Which browser(s) do you use/recommend and why?
Thanks. For me what happens is I can browse the add ons site, but when I press the add to firefox button, it fails silently: it looks like it starts to load a page and then does nothing.
I thought this might be normal behavior, but if it’s not I’ll try to figure it out.
Thanks.

hey Sem
I had not seen that.
Oddly my “Allow installation of add-ons” is unselected and set to blank.
Why can’t I install add-ons/extensions?
By default, due to privacy and security concerns, IronFox disables the installation of add-ons. This has no impact on already installed extensions, and updates to those extensions.
To allow the installation of add-ons, at the cost of security, you can navigate to Settings -> IronFox -> IronFox settings -> Security, and select the option to Allow installation of add-ons. It is recommended to disable this option when you are done installing your desired extension(s).
I wonder if it is to do with the repo:
I know it took ages to be released to f-droid and droid-ify and was only available from the git repo.
I installed the repo from here
