Firefox has been around for a while, but most people aren’t familiar with its companion app for Android. If you use Firefox on your computer, you may find it useful to use it on your phone as well. You can sign in to your Firefox account to transfer your website credentials and bookmarks and enable syncing of tabs across devices. By default, Firefox provides a clean browsing experience without any lag.
The browser also allows you to customize the appearance of your home page, something that Google Chrome and many others lack. Here you can enable or disable shortcuts, recent bookmarks, frequently visited sites and more. You can even choose from several backgrounds to give your browser a personalized touch. You’ll notice a small mask icon that, when activated, sends you into a private session that allows you to browse anonymously, at least partially.
You can access valuable privacy and security options in your browser’s settings menu. Toggling “HTTPS only mode” on and off is an effective way to stay protected from sketchy websites. You can choose the default screen that the app opens when you launch it, as well as choose to have tabs automatically close after a certain period of time. Firefox for Android also supports useful extensions such as an ad blocker, universal dark mode reader, Pomodoro timers and more.
