Firefox has been around for a while, but most people aren’t familiar with its Android companion app. If you use Firefox on your computer, you might find it rewarding to also use the same on your phone. You can sign into your Firefox account to bring over your website credentials and bookmarks and also to enable tab sync across devices. By default, Firefox provides a clean browsing experience without any fluff.
The browser lets you customize your homepage layout, too, something that Google Chrome and many others lack. Here, you can enable or disable shortcuts, recent bookmarks, frequently visited websites, and more. You can even choose from a handful of wallpapers to give your browser a personalized touch. You’ll notice a tiny mask icon, which, when activated, sends you into a private session that lets you browse anonymously, at least partially.
You can access precious privacy and security options under the browser’s settings menu. Toggling the “HTTPS-Only Mode” 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 for tabs to be automatically closed after a set period. Firefox for Android also supports useful extensions like an adblocker, a universal dark mode reader, Pomodoro timers, and more.
