minus-squareNewAgeOldPerson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34·10 months agoHonestly, I was already using FF for my home. Made the switch on Mobile after seeing this on the news yesterday. I’m just one person though.

minus-squaregooglrr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·10 months agoI’ve been using Firefox Mobile for years. It’s never let me down and having mobile adblock is great
minus-squareblady_blah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoYeah, I made the switch on Mobile when YouTube’s ads started getting super annoying. Ad block is a killer app in my book.
minus-squaregeolaw@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 months agoApparently Firefox can synchronise your bookmarks between your desktop and your mobile app? Does anyone have experience with this?
minus-squareYttra@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·10 months agoWorks perfectly for me, though by default mobile bookmarks are in their own folder, iirc
minus-squaresgtlighttree@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 months agoBookmarks is a little finicky in my experience, but tabs syncing between devices is quite good, but not as automatic as I want to be.
minus-squaredekomote@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 months agoNot just that, it has a great password manager I’ve been using for years now. You can also sync tabs.
