1) YouTube
"Liking" comments or typing replies is an absolute nightmare, and editing my own comments once submitted is not possible at all.
Example:
When I tap on the "like" button, I expect the browser to accept as a "like". Instead, it opens a menu like this:
Attachment 41713
You may call it a minor inconvenience, and you may well be right.
Other cases I mentioned like handling the replies is much worse, almost to the point of being unusable.
2) eBay
Browsing is almost OK (on a par with other mobile browsers), but I get a big red banner on top telling me I am using an unsupported browser when I try to make a payment.
I would recommend checking out Angelfish from Chum and since you have app support, Brave and Firefox for Android.
For YouTube I use microTube and I’m more than happy with it!

Thanks, guys. for your suggestions. The trouble with them is that all of them are of the "why don't you try [...]" kind. That's exactly the problem, there are way too many to try. I am looking for a specific answer.
I am not looking for, "I am using browser X and I like it".
I am looking for, "I am using browser X and it works with eBay."

Brave works great with everything if you don’t want to try anything else, plus the Adblock and everything else. I recommended both with FF because I use them both in most platforms, but either of them work just as good!
