I gave Firefox for Android another chance

@anonymous234 So that's what it looks like when browsers vomit.

Can't repro. Reddit looks fine in FF/Android for me. Even uBlock doesn't break it.

@anonymous234 Looks like Reddit broke, not Firefox.

(those times Firefox manages to not crash, anyway)

@asdf @cartman82 It happened twice (i.e. I refreshed once and it was still like that), it looks normal now. The internet connection was spotty so it might have been some weird CSS/javascript glitch, but I've never seen any website do anything like that on Chrome.
Anyway, Firefox is still much slower than Chrome so no thanks.

I had exactly that sort of thing happen to me this morning on the Guardian in Chrome for Android. While on a decent wifi connection, too so I'm not sure what the glitch was. A refresh fixed it

But Chrome on Android doesn't have addons, and I won't use a web browser without a privacy filter and ad blocker. Also, since I got a more powerful phone, I've had exactly zero issues with Firefox. Seems like its biggest problem on Android is the same as its biggest problem on the PC: Its resource usage.

Agreed.
Mobile Opera FTW.

I'm going to wait for mobile Vivaldi. Opera is dead.

Pretty sure Vivaldi made opera's too.

Text wrapping does come in handy sometimes. But there should be a one-touch button on the menu to turn it on or off because sometimes it's just annoying.

@asdf
Many sorry's!

FF for Android essentials:
-
uBlock Origin
-
HTTPS Everywhere
-
Phony
For uBlock, only add the blocklists you need, as every additional list consumes more battery power (i.e. use the ultimate combined list and unsubscribe from the ones it includes). For Phony, set it to Internet Explorer.
Finally, instead of reddit mobile, use
i.reddit.com
. Note that reddit uses fishy301
s to send you to the mobile site, so you'll need to clear the cache to use the alternative mobile site.

You were probably a victim of the Cloudfare incident. You MUST change your passwords (ALL of them!) immediately!

Text wrapping is what keeps bringing me back to Opera Mobile; I've yet to find a good alternative on the other browsers. :(

By the way, recently I'm tasked with revamping some page to responsive layout.
So I took bootstrap and code the page according to design given to me. That's when my current supervisor shown how the page looks like on phone with screen width < 768px to me. The page shown was in similar state as the screen cap on the first post.
So it turns out I have to code the media CSS of other widths as well, or the controls will be misplaced when the layout width change..

@cheong That's why Bootstrap has those
col-**-#
classes ;)
