I'd like to mention (once again), that Firefox on Android is a huge leap in everyday browsing experience over Chrome - and you should try it if you haven't. Due to mainly one reason: ad blocker extensions; which aren't supported on Chrome.
Since that's where most users are, I hope Mozilla will be able to communicate these advantages better. Chrome is arguably better on the desktop for most users, unless they're in the tiny subset of users who care about privacy.

- rilut 5y agosince Android 9.0 you can use private DNS like dns.adguard.com to use Chrome ad-free
- pxc 5y agoI prefer Firefox for Android as well, but there is a Chromium fork called Bromite which has adblocking built in, too.

- tentacleuno 5y agoAfter that whole search engine scandal with Kiwi Browser, a lot of people don't trust it anymore. I believe it also majorly lagged behind Chromium versions.
- inside_out_life 5y agoIt got updated to newest Chromium version recently, the build process seems to be semi-automated now too. Isn't it open source too? Unfortunately it's a bit buggy on some of my devices. Newest FF beta got unexplained speed bost and tablet UI, it's approaching irreplaceablity steadily for me, There's IceRaven FF fork which has enabled even more addons.
- pxc 5y agoJust spent some time playing with IceRaven and I like it a lot so far.

- ayushnix 5y agoBromite's adblocking is nowhere near as effective as Firefox + uBlock. That being said, I'm using Bromite as my primary browser on Android too because it's much faster and snappier to use and has tab groups. Perhaps I'll use Firefox Android as my primary browser some day.
