In fairness - much as I like desktop Firefox, Android Firefox has never felt as slick as Android Chrome. I'd love to switch, but it's got to be good enough.

As FF allows me to install ublock origin, I never seen a single reason to use Chrome on my Android.

I switched back to Chrome on Android, and will stay there until FF Mobile and LastPass start playing together nicely. I'm not sure which party is responsible, but it's a dealbreaker in general for me.

OK, I'm not familiar with LastPass on Android. It sounded too insecure compared to KeePass so I never considered it.

I use Firefox on Android and it's good enough. I don't even notice it's different. Additionally it's amusing to me to see just how far we have come where simply having a functional browser on a handheld device isn't enough.

I think FF Focus is absolutely brilliant an mobile and for everything else (except Facebook) I use firefox with ublock origin. It performs very well and I can nicely sync my passwords and tabs to my other devices.

Firefox Focus used to be based on Blink, which explains its responsiveness.

I think they switched to Gecko lately, but not sure if is still as fast.

I use Firefox Focus as my primary browser (every crap I click on opens in it), and Firefox as my secondary (when I need tabs).

For those on Android, Focus does tabs. The interface is different and more hidden, which is feature-not-bug territory for Focus: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/open-new-tab-firefox-fo...

True, but not very nice to use. For example, if you change the tab, all other pages get unloaded and will reload if you change back to them. Very good for loosing where on the page you where.

It is not a big issue really as FFF (as I understand it) is not meant to be used for tabbing a lot and it prevents the usual tab accumulation.
