I try Firefox on Android about every six months and it is consistently worse than its competitors. Its address bar behaviour is erratic, websites render desktop versions or "basic" versions where I would get a more functional version on chrome, it feels heavy and scrolling still sucks.
This from someone who has had Firefox as my default browser on my computer since I unzipped Phoenix off a CD which came bundled with a computer magazine.

I use Firefox Android daily and it's consistently more useful than Chrome; * Firefox Sync lets me send tabs between all my devices * I can run a scriptblocker, which has saved me from atleast two Script Injection attacks * I can set DDG as search engine * I can open tabs in the background which is useful when people post links with commentary or multiple links
- ce4 8y agoThe "open tabs in background" is a really nice feature. I love it for adding stuff to read from other apps to read it later, eg from chat or email.
