Firefox Android Battery Drain - alternatives? (lemmy.ml)

I've got a brand new Pixel 8 and my battery isn't making it through the day. Android tells me Firefox is eating it up in the background. I just changed it to restricted battery use and I'll see if that helps.

I do not want to switch to Brave or Chrome, but this is intolerable. What are you favorite Firefox alternatives and why? Mull? Librewolf?

If you value the extra privacy and security, then it's absolutely worth it.

Yes but I dont have a pixel and I use mostly foss apps on my phone. The few nonfree apps are in a shelter sandbox (not sure how comparable this is to graphene's sandboxing).
