What should I use instead of Firefox on Android?

There's "pull to refresh", and a refresh button on the "three dots" menu. Hardly seems like a reason to abandon Firefox.

IronFox. It's based on Firefox but has way, way better privacy defaults, and yes, it retains the reload/stop button.

But it's not on the Play Store sorry. I mean, Google doesn't respect your privacy, so it makes sense you can't find IronFox on it.

You can install it from F-Droid/Droid-ify or Obtanium, where you can find all the real privacy-respecting and non-enshittified apps.

if you have an android, use google chrome which is an obvious choice and default aswell for many android users.
