I downloaded it just yesterday, and I uninstalled it after reading this article. Back to Firefox for me!

Firefox doesn’t block ads on my iPad. Only reason I still use brave
You can install add-ons, at least on the android version. One of them is Ublock!
Firefox is significantly slower though…
Not really that significant when you’re using it, I promise. I’m usually all for speed, but FF has better functionality than the competition.
Speed is significant though. “Functionality” (whatever you mean by that) is less important.
Built-in features are much better, respects privacy (compared to Google), add-ons have more possibilities, etc.
