Run ublock on FF android and it'll more than make up for the slower browser by avoiding downloading all the ads. When the quantum enhancements land Chrome will be way behind.

Yep, already run uBlock Origin and Cookie AutoDelete. The problem has always been there with or without the extensions. But on faster devices it's not that much of an annoyance anymore.

I did try Firefox 57 on my Android phone and found the scrolling to be unpleasant with lots of artifacts and stuttering. It's still a much better experience with the mobile version of Chrome.

That's right but it's not so bothersome anymore esp on faster devices.

I think and early version of the enhancements on Android are available in 58, and can be enabled by using the search bar to enter `layout.css.servo.enabled` and then switching it on.

Nope doesn't look like that setting is present in 58 on Android. It seems to be still disabled at build time.
