In the coming months Mozilla will launch support for an open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android on addons.mozilla.org (AMO). We’ll announce a definite ...
In general what chromium browsers have out of the box in firefox you have to install addons to have that functionality and still it's worse experience. For example pwa support. Worst thing is that websites and now software only supports chromium.
but people don't care about tests, they care only about what's fast and comfortable for their device. maybe firefox might be a better option for users in the latter once the browser plug-ins come to play.

Its mostly that scrolling feels smoother, which might just be animation trickery
Hm yeah weird. I tried chrome just to test and the scrolling is definitely slightly different but I don't think it's smoother. Just kinda tweaked differently I guess. Haven't tried bromite tho.
It's funny how some people are willing to use weird android mods that can't run half of the apps to protect their privacy while others can't even wait 0.01s longer for a page to load.
If it's not that feature, it's likely either memory tuning or battery optimization stuff. Some phone manufacturers set those values to levels that are more aggressive than they really need to be, leading to processes being terminated in the background when they ideally shouldn't.
