Not being run by google is already a _very_ good thing. That said in my experience Firefox is much faster than chrome both on Linux and Android, on top of that I find the extensions available for Firefox much better as well.
- coldpie 5y agoHaving uBlock Origin and NoScript in a mobile browser is amazing.
- seanw444 5y agoNot just for getting rid of the annoyance, but uBlock Origin also makes the browser perform way better too. And it's especially noticeable on mobile.
- causality0 5y agoIt was better having all the extensions in a mobile browser. Like a damn user agent switcher. Firefox is not worse than Chrome by any means, it's just a pathetic shadow of the powerful tool it used to be.

- fartcannon 5y agoThat's more or less what Microsoft did with Apple for I believe the same basic reason. They invested 150 million in 1997 to keep Apple afloat. Now Apple is worth 3 trillion. It can be turned around.
