Looked at the Compare Chart. They just placed a few things like "Data Vault" or "Private Downloads" without any explanation what are those. Also they are so inaccurate. Like saying that Phones cannot play youtube videos in background. Well, you can just install an app, and it will be able to do that. Adblocking is not available for Safari, Chrome or Firefox? You don't need to be an IT person to figure out how to enable them. And how about adding to the chart a few more things, things that I actually use - Extensions support - nope - Profiles support - nope - Bookmarks - maybe nope - don't see them mentioning them sowewhere - Integration between devices - nope - Reading list - nope (I need that more than videos) - And there is probably more.

  Yet another reason to use Firefox: the addon to fix Youtube background playback has been featured in Firefox's mobile addons even since the first iteration of their addon whitelist.

  You can block ads in Safari on iPhone with extensions. Maybe Chrome as well with AdGuard dns ads blocker. I would assume Chrome on Android has something similar, extensions support?

      > There are no extensions on Chrome on Android Surprised to hear that. But still they compare it to Firefox, which is untrue.
