    That’s the reason why I use Firefox on Android.

      That’s the reason why I might start to use FF again (tbh at this point I don’t see why to use anything else).

        I am using Firefox as well and I don’t think I’d go back to Chrome, but I wish it supported progressive web apps a bit better!

          Is there even an adblocker for chrome on mobile?

            Not for chrome, but there are forks that have adblocking capabilities.

            Kiwi is a browser that lets you install extensions, so you can install an ad blocker

            Or Brave, that includes it as a browser feature. But Brave has had many weird features and taken many weird decisions, so people recommend just moving to Firefox

          Well, on a second thought I guess they don’t have much tabs control, so that is a bit of a bummer.

          @Camilo @kratoz29 I don’t think Firefox is any worse at progressive enhancement than chrome, most developers don’t even consider it so perhaps chrome is better at running poor code than Firefox, but that is not a good reason to use it, just encourages poor coders and coding

            They said PWA. Chrome and Chrome like browsers can install pwa as native apps, aka webapks on your android. Firefox can only add a shortcut where sites can run full screen.
