For me, the biggest benefit of using Firefox on mobile is access to extensions. Full-featured uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger make mobile browsing a lot less annoying.

Ublock was enough to make slower Firefox on Android worth using because it makes sites so much faster. Once the quantum features start arriving on mobile its going to be impossible for chrome to match.

They're already on mobile in the stable release. I'm posting this comment from Firefox Quantum on Android right now.

A lot of the performance stuff such as Stylo hasn't landed on the Android version yet

My must-have list is https everywhere (from EFF) and uBlock origin.

I hope that the mobile browser will get at least the same level of attention as in the past.

These extensions work just fine on FF 57 for Android, so I'm not really sure of the point you are trying to make.

They are available in Nightly and Beta, I'm surprised they aren't in the main release yet.

Firefox Focus is a mobile browser flavor which requires no installation of any extension, and behaves a bit like windows in "Private" mode but with ad blocking by default.

I use Firefox Focus as my default browser for all news/app/etc links except for when I specifically need access to existing sessions and don't want to log everything in again.
