pull down to refresh

I guess I don't use my browser much on my mobile.
I just noticed that with Firefox when I have launched that app using a Private tab, and I switch to any other app and then come back, that I am back to being unauthenticated. So if I am using Stacker.news and I need to do anything outside the browser (e.g., use calculator), I will have to log back in.
Chrome Incognito doesn't behave this way.
So I guess with Firefox I would need to stop using Private mode for anything requiring authenticating.
I want to stop using Chrome (F Google, ... and I know, but Android is Google, whatever, ... I'll fix that some day too).
Does anyone use a browser app on Android that is not Chrome, and not Firefox? (Fennec doesn't help, ... being a fork of Firefox, same thing happens).
I use brave browser and Tor browser on my phone. Both work great.
