Switched back to Firefox since the Quantum release and I'm very happy with it. On mobile I still use Chrome, but I'm gonna check out how FF works on mobile :).

Mobile isn't so bad! No complaints so far after about a month.

One of the great things about ff on mobile is ability to use desktop extensions, like ublock origin.

Firefox mobile on android is a vastly better experience. The number one reason is you can run adblock which turns many mobile sites from ad-filled disasters to readable sites.

i use "firefox focus" on mobile. i like it because using it is like using a kiosk -- after you're done, it deletes everything and starts fresh. also it's choc-full of content blockers. it's good for privacy and, more importantly for me, it encourages me to just use my phone for looking up information rather than casual time-wasting browsing. it also doesn't support multiple tabs, though (at least on iOS, i don't know about android). i've gotten used to it, and it helps to enforce my phone-as-a-tool mentality, but i can see how that could be a deal-breaker for most people.

I use Firefox Focus on mobile for most browsing, and regular FF for sites that I need to be logged in to. Very happy with both. Focus in particular is astonishingly fast.

If your fine with no tabs, and privacy is your top priority, on mobile I'd highly recommend "Privacy Browser" (android) - disclaimer: I know the author. It's pretty cool. It has a well thought interface for toggling settings (javascript, 1st party cookies, 3rd party cookies, block lists, etc.) and comes with pretty aggressive defaults. IIRC, the author has plans to add tab support, I'm not sure when though. Edit: Personally, at this point I'm using Firefox + uBlock origin. I've tried chrome too, but prefer Firefox. As soon as it gets tab support though, I'll be switching to privacy browser.

I am using a Firefox derivative called Fennec along with uBlock and am never going back to anything else. It can be installed from F-Droid.
