#2I hope you don't take offense but I feel it's hard on my eyes to read text on a black background. I tried to read the article but it kind of hurt my eyes and had to leave.

Probably moreso because of the low contrast.

Just install Firefox and use Reader mode... oh...

Fortunately Firefox has a feature by default not found in Chrome, which can help with that: you can easily turn off the CSS.

Yeah I visited and insta-left. That thin monospace with a faint gray color on that dark background was just impossible to read.

#7I feel there's an opening for mobile experience on Android. Chrome is pretty terrible in that space. No extensions, no reader mode, no eacape from AMP, etc.

#8I agree with the author’s criticisms of Firefox. Maybe the new MS Edge is better positioned to take over where Chrome is leaving off.
But I will say - I’ve been using Firefox as my daily driver for about 2 years, and I have to say I’m very happy... though I still use Chrome for the dev tools (but planning to switch to Edge as soon as their production release for macOS is out).
Safari might be my next stop for a daily driver browser. I hear Apple’s doing an incredible job with power management and security.

I strongly agree. It feels like Google has been mostly phoning it in on mobile chrome for a long time. Obviously it is very difficult to take something designed for a desktop and make it work well on a phone, but there definitely seems to be opportunity here.

Were you reading in Chrome? Use the Reader mode in Firefox and you'll be fine.
