What better features? Firefox has pretty much everything nowadays, and is as fast as Chrome.
Chromium browsers have only 1 feature I need: access to the Chromecast API. I have 3, Firefox can't connect to them and the last 2-3 times I tried the listed 3rd party methods (fx bridge, etc), I could never get it to work.
Were it not for that, I'd be back on Firefox.
Have you tried setting
browser.casting.enabled = truein Firefox's about:config settings?Trust me, I've tried everything there is. For hours, literally. Nothing worked.
(Casting from Firefox (beta) on Android.)
That's a bummer. Personally, I use an app made to cast web video on android because it has better casting experience (including subtitles support) and wider range of supported websites. The dev is also responsive and would push a fix if you report any site where it doesn't work: Web Video Caster
Agreed, it's an amazing app, well worth the price for premium version.
