Ratings and reviews

This is the only mobile browser to support some of the most-used plugins, but what it desperately needs is bookmark reorganization without needing to sync to other devices. I don't want the same bookmarks on my phone as my PC. I also find that, on rare occasions, during updates, my bookmarks will get scrambled into a random order. It's concerning that none of this was addressed and that a feedback link I was given as a response to my review here was one that doesn't work.

I switched from Opera to Firefox to get away from annoying pop-ups advertising built-in AI slop. Firefox has been fine in this regard for a couple of months, but today it asked me for a Google Play review with a popup over a new tab. Not cool. One time is already too many, but if it happens again, I might switch browsers.

Recent patch major flaws: 1) I can't open the gear on YouTube videos (quality, speed, etc. settings). Pressing the gear on a YT video puts a low opacity black cover over the whole app window and changes the URL to end in "#bottom-sheet". Please fix ASAP, my productivity is plummeting since I can't 2x speed everything. 2) Opening YT videos / any reddit post causes a pop-up to lock your screen until you close it. The pop-up says "would you like to open in app?". This doesn't happen in Chrome.
