I, for one, can't use Firefox, though I'd love to. FF eats up too much memory on my device to the point where my device becomes unusable. I'm not sure if anyone else has that experience.
It is a big app, and since it doesn't rely on the built-in WebView components in Android, does take up a lot of memory. I do use it as my primary browser on my Nexus 7 and Moto E, and it seems to work fine without much hassle.
As an aside, I've had in mind to add features to Orweb (like very simple tabbing, bookmarks, etc.) to make it more user-friendly.
Ultimately, we decided that building our own browser from scratch was too much work.
If you want a nice, full featured Android browser app that incorporates built-in support for Orbot and proxying, you should try Lightning: https://github.com/anthonycr/Lightning-Browser
We will be deprecating Orweb in favor of Orfox and Lightning this fall.
