Their small selection is already insanely helpful for me. I've been using firefox mobile for a year now and it's just as fast as chrome with the additional benefits of:
darkmode
adblocking (including youtube!)
shorter, more sharable links without tracking
and thats all thanks to the extensions that arent available in other mobile browsers unless devs directly integrate them into your app.
Don't forget the "Video Background Play Fix" add on. That paired with the adblocking makes it where you can watch ad free YouTube while in another app or even with the screen off.
Geeeez, I didn't know about that one - Thank you very much sir!
Here's another trick. Go to youtube and then go to your Firefox menu and check "desktop site". And then you can install it as a PWA on your Homescreen. Don't worry, when you open it up for the first time from your Homescreen, it will be back in Mobile web format.
This essentially makes it an isolated app from your browser. Not cluttering up your history and tabs.
TIL, that's a great tip! cheers
