HN on Android looks exactly the same in FF, Chrome and the stock browser. I checked right now. Even the zoom behaviour is the same. The only browser that makes the site behave better is Opera with text reflow on zoom enabled. I can't understate how useful that feature is in general and I can't understand why every browser doesn't offer it. It's the reason why I'm using Opera on Android despite using Firefox on the desktop. Another reason I'm not using FF on Android is that it's noticeably slower at rendering the page at the end of a scroll action. It seems that blink is better at that.

I'm adblocking with AdAway on the device I rooted and with Adblock Plus (a local proxy) on the one I didn't root.

You get them on F-Droid.
