The problem is they apparently really value having cross device syncing between desktop and phone, and dislike Firefox on mobile a bit due to speed. Idk I mean yeah I think chromium browsers on android are technically faster (seems to me at least) but with no ads it's way better

Good news, there is cross device syncing. You just have to make a Firefox account. That might be a no go for some folks, but it is an option. If Firefox on mobile is slower, I have not noticed the difference. Have they just refused to try it?

I think they know about the cross device syncing but yeah think it's too slow. Idk how long it's been since they used it.

There is an issue I've had with Firefox on Android that I've tried to fix but haven't been able to, where the first time I load a website in like... An hour or 2, it takes a long time to load. After that everything is pretty quick but the first load after the app has been suspended (is my guess) is slow

Huh, I have noticed that. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I 100% agree any slowness is outweighed by ad blockers though.
