154.0.1 good performance in Android

last I check in version 153 still jitter/stutter and slow when scrolling and load bunch of image like manhwa/manga, now in 154 feel smooth and better.

the main issue only Auto Hide URL Bar and NavBar, still stop a while every scrolling down and up for hiding and re-appearing URL Bar and NavBar.

version 154 can be downloaded here https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/fenix/releases/154.0/android/

i trying compared with latest beta & nightly, but beta 155.0b1 and nightly 156.0a1 still has jitter/stutter issue in my devices. https://i.imgur.com/LZcJznD.png

firefox lost 40 million user since 2022, but brave consistent have 4 million new user /month

firefox data https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity

brave data https://bravebrowserstats.com/

don't just downvote guys, something wrong in here must be fixed.

i agree Brave bloated with crypto-rewards, but people didn't care about that, less than 10% of Brave users use the Brave crypto wallet. normies just want good performance browser, reliable everytime with built-in adblock out of the box.

besides of that, Firefox has very poor performance, crashing, lagging, and unreliable all the time. and if anyone expresses their disagreement and performance issue in r/firefox, users will be bombarded with downvotes. I know you're a big Firefox fan, but Firefox's future is also on the line and counting.

especially in mobile, normies even don't care about extension support (mv2-mv3, what is that?) they don't care.

Vivaldi and Brave launched almost at the same time, but Vivaldi until now only have 4 million total active user. because of what? user need customize filter rules if want equal adblocking result like Brave.

Brave just work well out of the box.

realistic alternatives and real solution

Sometimes it's impossible to completely stop using services from (Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.), sometimes we need to use their reliable services (maps, messaging, online store, etc) but don't want them tracking and mining our data 24/7. Here's a realistic alternative and a real solution.

install their services sandboxed (isolated, contained, and quarantined) separated from your main profile through private space or create a work profile with the open-source apps below:

Or use the Hail app to easily disable and enable apps only when you need to use their services. Besides preventing tracking, this method also extends your battery life.

Because Android still doesn't have a built-in feature to easily disable and enable user-installed apps or third-party apps (are applications that user manually downloaded and installed on users device) we need adb shell command just to disable third-party apps.

adb shell pm disable-user com.example.apps

Although a feature to disable third-party apps exists, it is not user-friendly by default.

That's how Hail works, adb shell GUI apps makes it easy to disable apps installed by users, disabling an app means shutting it down, disconnecting internet connection and stopping service entirely.

Additionally, if you are using a Chromium-based browser (Brave Browser, Microsoft Edge Browser, Chrome Browser, etc.) with testDPC or OwnDroid, users can set policies on those browsers to completely disable their AI and set other settings to enhance user privacy. https://github.com/prasetyodedy/android-browser-debloat/blob/main/README.md

I hope this can help you guys, I use combination from Hail + shizuku and OwnDroid setup as Device Owner because feature for managed configuration policies. you can combine and try what fits for you, Hail + island/insular also good.

Note: this method for Android devices, idk about apple devices.

Reminder: avoid buy Chinese Brand (Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, iQoo, Realme) their Android OS Skins tracker is horrible, impossible for ged rid entirely with debloating. good if that device can be unlocked bootloader and available Custom ROM for that devices.

solution for user have problem with M3E (Material 3 Expensive) theme

if some user have problem with M3E Material 3 Expensive theme because continuous update since Material Design 3 (Material You) or modified with third-party apps like Color Blendr (com.drdisagree.colorblendr) and make M3E can't sync anymore when try change theme color from "Wallpaper and style >> colour".

can try delete this secure table from ADB for fixes

adb shell settings delete secure theme_customization_overlay_packages

and then change theme color from "Wallpaper and style >> colour".
