Now I only need full ublock origin support on android and it's golden.

You can add the block lists manually via Vivaldi's built in blocker feature

Sadly that doesn't work as good as ublock, especially for adblock blocker blocking.

There are some websites that just don't work with that setup.

You already can have that :) Ironfox (Firefox Librewolf-style android fork) is the easiest option (uBlock origin integrated), but you can also use the normal firefox browser with full extension support.

Firefox (and thus also the forks) is missing a couple features since the rewrite 5 years ago. The biggest one for me is lack of keyboard shortcuts.

Also it becomes painfully slow on some more complex websites and dark reader is not nearly as good as the dark mode in Vivaldi.

Because of that I only use FF on websites that don't work on Vivaldi.

lack of keyboard shortcuts

What keyboard shortcuts are missing from FF?

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

On Android? All of them. There are no keyboard shortcuts at all on FF for Android.

How are you using a keyboard in a browser on Android? I didn't use keyboard since BlackBerry KEY.
