My main beefs - Refresh requires two clicks instead of the now-standard pull down (like Chrome) - Text resizing is _all_ _over_ _the_ _place_. I go to Reddit and the text shrinks down to size 3 or something. There is no clear way to make any adjustment whatsoever. Compare to Chrome/Chrome-clone Brave's very easy text resizing. Why do I love firefox on android? - Adblocking adblocking adblocking. Get rid of the absolutely garbage ad experiences that clutter up the majority of .com sites - Extensions - Zoom is easy versus other browsers

Pulling down to refresh is so annoying. Way too easy to trigger accidentally. I really prefer the Firefox way.

Have you tried the new browser, still called Firefox Preview on Android?
