Hi Firefox Android team,
I have a few feature requests and thoughts I'd love to share:
1. YouTube Portrait Fullscreen Gesture When watching a YouTube video in the browser, please add a swipe-down gesture from the bottom edge of the video to enter portrait fullscreen mode — not landscape. I want to focus entirely on the current video without being distracted by recommended video thumbnails around it. A clean, portrait fullscreen experience would be a huge improvement for YouTube viewers.
2. Focus on Replacing Premium Features of Popular Platforms Firefox has a real opportunity to win users by making premium features of popular platforms like YouTube and Facebook freely accessible through the browser. Brave browser is doing something smart by focusing on YouTube, and that strategy is attracting users. Firefox can go further.
Here is the key advantage Firefox already has: uBlock Origin. Brave's built-in ad blocker cannot block Facebook ads effectively. uBlock Origin can — and it does. This is a major reason many users choose Firefox over Brave. Please double down on this strength, highlight it louder, and build more features around it.
Firefox + uBlock Origin is the most powerful free combination available for users who want an ad-free, distraction-free experience on YouTube, Facebook, and beyond. Own that position.
Thank you for reading this feedback. Keep building for the users who can't afford or don't want to pay for premium services — that's a massive and loyal audience.
Best regards, A Firefox Android user
