Iceraven Now Allows Extensions to be Installed Directly from a Local File!
The Preview version is actually the to-go version, that's why I added the word "Preview": https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb-Preview/releases/tag/22.0

Privacy-friendly Firefox alternatives for android?
Smart Cookie Web, it looks promising: https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb-Preview

Chrome's next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates
It's called Sideload XPI, iirc Firefox Nightly allows you to sideload XPI if you enable Experimental by tapping Firefox logo in About 7 times.
But it's easier with Ice Raven or Smart Cookie Web Preview:

- SmartCookieWeb Preview was updated yesterday
- Firefox Android done right?

Alternative to Kiwi browser that can sideload addons from third party websites
Instead, I recommend SmartCookieWeb Preview. It is derived from Firefox and features sideloading. Note, it has a similarly sparse update cadence to Kiwi and you will have to manually download new releases. https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb-Preview/releases

Chrome's next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates
> Show me these pages that Firefox doesn't render well.
I'm not doing homework for you. Lots of pages don't render well in Firefox, it's a well known issue which is why it comes up in every thread about Firefox.
> Show me pages that tank Firefox performance.
Firefox in general performs poorly. Again, known long-term ongoing issue. Look at this thread where almost every top-level comment is sceptical that Firefox is even close to Chrome in performance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36770883
You can find ongoing performance benchmarks between Chrome and Firefox here, and it's not flattering for FF: https://arewefastyet.com
> How many of them will have -webkit-* and other engine-exclusive markup/CSS?
I don't care, at all. It's not my job, as a user, to debug performance problems.
> Firefox updates every 6 weeks, just like Chrome.
Ok? I didn't say anything about update cadence.

Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer
The link is terrible. Maybe the article should link to https://arewefastyet.com or maybe the Speedometer selection at https://arewefastyet.com/win10/benchmarks/raptor-desktop-spe...

Firefox on par with Chrome in Sunspider benchmarks on Windows
Well I would wager a guess it's due to consistency. The full site includes a bunch of different benchmarks, with a lot of them having the y axis as execution time in milliseconds. Meaning, lower is better. They probably just wanted to keep that consistency even with tests that use scores. Definitely a bit misleading without the full context. The full site is arewefastyet.com

Chrome's new Maglev compiler leads to latest Speedometer, Jetstream increases
They do... They just don't have the resources Google does. If you see https://arewefastyet.com you can see that Firefox has been steadily improving in speed, and they have actually recently been working to make react faster.
