Thank you, devs

Post by jawz101 »

I just wanted to give a thank you for Giorgio and those who helped port to Firefox Mobile. While FFox Mobile supports add-ons, most popular security add-ons and ad blockers really affect performance on the browser. I turned to NoScript Anywhere with similar results and much less performance penalty.

I wish we could put together a Kickstarter fund to bolster the financial support because it's such a popular fundraising platform.

Anyways, thanks again.

I also wanted to mention the add-ons I try on a phone - some of which (though I don't know which) cause a significant performance degradation.

No Resource URI Leak https://addons.mozilla.org/eN-US/androi ... e-uri-leak ... add-ons function likely unnecessary in a future FFox update

UBlock Origin https://addons.mozilla.org/eN-US/androi ... ock-origin ... likely performance problems on a low-powered device

Self-Destructing Cookies https://addons.mozilla.org/eN-US/androi ... ng-cookies

Canvas Fingerprint Blocker https://addons.mozilla.org/eN-US/androi ... nt-blocker ... seems not to add any noticeable performance issues. I do use this with NoScript, though I don't really know if it's doing anything because it doesn't alert like the desktop add-on version.

As an alternative I just stick to NoScript to address as much as possible since it's so lightweight.
