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.

Can I log in to my Google account in the browser and have it sync all of my stuff with my account though? Bookmarks, visited pages, etc etc.

That's the thing that makes it hard to switch to something else on PC too, I need my Google account integration, and other browsers just don't seem to support it :-(

I'd absolutely love up switch back to Firefox, it was my browser of choice before Chrome was released, but I do absolutely want to keep all my Google account integrations at this point.

    You can log in to a Mozilla account in both the desktop and mobile browsers and sync everything that way. No Google needed!

    That doesn't bring your info over from Chrome though

    Why would you want to do that? Firefox has their own privacy conserving sync

  • As a person who had a Google account for over 15 years... With all the stories of Google locking accounts, I'd recommend exploring a backup. It's been my thing all year.

    There are stories of people who use their gmail for everything. Then they got their account locked and suddenly couldn't pay bills, see their baby pictures, reset passwords on other sites. And Google doesn't really have customer service so it was locked for weeks.
