    It takes half a dozen extensions, settings tweaks, and hidden flags to make Chrome do what browsers like Firefox already do out of the box.

    The fact that I can have half a dozen extensions is the main reason I use Firefox for Android.

    I just switched from Firefox for Android to Fennec, which is the exact same browser bundled by the Mozilla Foundation, with slightly fewer proprietary bits and bops than normal Firefox and available on F-droid. My Mozilla account still syncs and it all works perfectly.

    Firefox for Android is still great, but it’s nice to see some love for those of us who prefer to stick with open source projects all the way.

    The very obvious most important difference between chrome and ff is that with ff you can install the add-on uBlock origin. Long after that there might be other worthwhile differences but the browsing experience with ff + uBlock origin is unbeaten.

      Manifest V3 made Chrome and its derivatives radioactive, AFAIC.
