Performance/Android
This page contains links to helpful resources on the performance of our Android apps.
Apps
- Android App Configurations
The Android apps are configured independently and so have different performance characteristics.
GeckoView is configured at initialization via GeckoRunTimeSettings https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/javadoc/mozilla-central/org/mozilla/geckoview/GeckoRuntimeSettings.Builder.html
In addition GeckoSessionSettings can be modified to change the behaviour of individual browsing sessions.
