The final push to start using Firefox over Chrome on Android might finally be thanks to the enormous selection of add-ons (Firefox’s version of extensions) coming out next month. Chrome doesn’t offer native support for extensions in its mobile app. Also, better security.
Because Firefox for Android was slow as molasses… People keep complaining about the kissing extensions but Firefox was hella slow on android and the new Browser was drastically better. The only way to compete with Chrome was a rewrite. They still enabled individual extensions, the most popular. I, for one, am glad they took this route. We’re much better off today.
