What does it offer that Firefox does not ?

  People here seem to "hope" that extension support will be implemented. If my stable Firefox for Android gets updated into a browser without uBlock Origin I will immediately switch to some chromish alternative with adblocking. There's no reason for firefox for android once extension support is gone, featurewise.

    I use Firefox for Android for one reason: the ability to not load images on cell data. I'm surprised other browsers don't have that, but it's huge for me since I pay by the megabyte (Google Fi). It saves me $10/month easily. edit: oh, it looks like that's missing, too. Nooooo....

      Plus ublock origin can save a lot of data. I am on a slow university network and I keep JavaScript off by default using UBO. It takes 3 clicks to enable it for sites that really need it, but web is much faster with it.

    Try the duckduckgo android browser, most ads fail in it without extensions required. My favorite feature is the "fire" icon that closes all tabs, deletes all cookies and history and basically reinitializes the browser.
