how is Firefox half-baked?
i'm using it every day along with Safari and don't see any significant differences

For me Firefox is about as good as any. Upsides here, downsides there, and nothing truly outstanding overall. It seems severely far behind in modern color (e.g. HDR videos or all of the wide gamut CSS specifications coming out), ahead in terms of single profile compartmentalization (containers), but behind in profile management (the profile manager sucks if you even know how to get to it). For as much as it champions being the last bastion of the free web it comes default with a decent amount of crapware (pocket, vpn) and has lost its way in terms of power user flexibility (UI customization, mobile extension limits, removal of power user flags). That said it's still better than the alternatives in those spaces, just not as good as it used to be.
For another none of these might matter but a lot of other reasons I don't even think about might. In the end even Firefox's own usage statistic point to the vast majority seeming to agree it doesn't have anything compelling enough to be worth switching to/evangelizing for anymore though.
Firedox on android has a lot of issues.
For example scaling up the page 120% to be able to more easily read text that the designer made too small doesn't turn all the images on the page into a blurry mess like it does on Chrome.
I've tried reporting bug reports to the Chromium project, but they can't seem to understand the concept and keep misfiling the reports as duplicates of irrelevant bugs and closing them as fixed without having fixed the problem.
You'd think that this would have me stop using it, but I really don't want to use Chrome/Brave/DDG so have just been putting up with it.
Only use ff mobile and never have any issues
Hehe, we are on the same boat about not using other browsers. I have been use firefox for the last 18 years, I will continue to do so.
I.e. it's basically "an interesting Chromium clone maintained by a couple of folks out of Estonia". If you're cool with that it can be a nifty browser, for many that just makes it to unproven to dump access to their entire online world into.
