• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons.

• While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model.

• Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

I've been using Firefox on desktop and mobile exclusively for a number of years now. I will say the experience isn't perfect but it's better than using a browser made by a company that is actively hostile to its users.

It is important to take note that you will experience issues with some websites. For example, https://astro.build/ Try scrolling quickly up and down on this page on Firefox vs Chrome (on mobile).

I see no difference between mobile chrome/Firefox?

A lot of people have been saying this, some have been saying it lags in chrome, and some have been saying it lags in firefox. I'm interested to know what device you have and perhaps what refresh rate your display runs?
