The price may be midrange but the specs definitely are not.

    You joke. But, firefox on android starts killing tabs when your system is under memory pressure. Where even chrome would keep your tabs alive. This is not an issue on high memory devices but is noticeable on low ram smartphones.

      I’ve had over 100 tabs open on my Firefox on Pixel 6 for months now. What are you doing that you can’t keep tabs open on Firefox?

        Let’s just say. Some Games, streaming, social media and general apps like tasker, samsung health, sleep as android, among others. Your pixel 6 has 8gigs of ram. my samsung had 6gigs of physical ram. It wasn’t until I switched to a 12gb ram device the reload issue was mitigated (not solved).

        The issue has been present since the fenix rewrite from 2020. Here’s the issue from the github archive: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12731#event-8105829420

          That particular one is done as of October 2022. However, it looks like you are doing more intensive work on your phone than I am on mine. Perhaps I just lack imagination, but I never could figure out what I could do with tasker to improve my usage, and I understand what it can do. It’s just my life apparently doesn’t demand such solutions.

          I personally never experienced the issues described in Firefox. Perhaps I was just lucky. I will say that Chromite is definitely snappier than Firefox. If you haven’t tried it yet, take a look. It is chock full of privacy protecting features, too.
