Why not, it supports ad blockers so at least it is better than Chrome. Also it can put the URL bar at the bottom which makes much more sense on a phone.

- btreecat 3y agoBecause mobile Firefox exists?
- adonese 3y agoI don't really like samsung internet, it totally sucks. The half-assed adblocker is okayish, and the picture in picture is somewhat better than edge (stopped chrome long ago and edge is my main desktop browser). Tried Firefox mobile, while I love the ublock origin, it kept constantly crashing that I eventually had to let go off. But yeah I'd definitely love to have a minimal android
- tortoise_in 3y agoWait you on hacker news and don't use Firefox?
- hulium 3y agoI do use Firefox. I defended Samsung against Chrome in the category of preinstalled browsers, Firefox plays in a different league of course.
- sundvor 3y agoYup. I use the Samsung browser as my primary - thanks to the adblockers.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoBut how do you sync it with your desktop browser? As in history, bookmarks, etc.
- tagamma 3y agoI don't think you can. At least I was not able to find a way to do that. That was the main reason I switched back to Firefox on mobile despite actually liking Samsung Internet more.
- sundvor 3y agoConfirmed. I tend to use my phone for personal research stuff mainly and Firefox on my desktop/laptop for work. I use bookmark syncing in Firefox, and that works great! But I generally don't need to synch from phone to desktop. Having said this, I also had Firefox installed on my phone and on checking, see that ublock origin is available there! Will give it a shot now. :-)
