On firefox for Android, if you installed “Google search fixer” addon, it causes browser to freeze when interacting with images in Google search. Someone please report this to mozilla. Using the android browser without that addon is almost impossible.

    The developer of addon seems to be inactive. Firefox android is doomed for me if it isn’t fixed.

          They’re unlikely to be (significantly) worse than what you get from Google nowadays.

          I understand having a preference but I don’t think they’re that far apart myself. I use DDG mostly and find everything relatively easily

      But like, why does it have to be Google? (Or this extension specifically?)

      If you’re super attached to the google search results then try startpage. If you’re willing to branch out a bit try Duckduckgo, it’s based on Bing instead and lately seems like more folks prefer Bing’s engine to Google’s.

      And as others have mentioned you could use any old useragent switcher to pretend to be Chrome
