Firefox is almost the only mobile browser that has full support for extensions. A lifehacker will tell you which extensions to install.
It's hard to find users who don't use browser extensions. After all, it is they that allow you to get those functions that are most needed. However, most mobile browsers still don't support extensions. Firefox compares favorably with their background. For that alone, it should be used on smartphones and tablets running Android.
1.uBlock Origin
If you can somehow reconcile with advertising on a computer, then on the small screen of a mobile device it becomes simply unbearable. Very often, huge banners do not allow access to the content of the site. The only solution in this case is to install an ad blocker.
2. Dark Mode
If you are used to reading articles on your favorite sites before going to bed, then be sure to install this extension. It can invert colors and reduce contrast so that reading becomes more comfortable for the eyes.
3. Ghostery
Ghostery is one of the best privacy and privacy extensions. It blocks the download of all elements that spy on users, including advertising cookies, counters, social media buttons, and so on. This not only increases the safety of surfing, but also allows web pages to load much faster.
4. LastPass
The most convenient way to store passwords, especially if you are constantly using different devices. With LastPass, you will never have to remember or write down passwords when you need to transfer them from one browser to another.
5. Open Native App
This extension is designed specifically for use on mobile devices. It allows you to open links to special content in native mobile apps. For example, links to applications will open on Google Play, videos on YouTube, and so on.
6. Tap Translate
Convenient extension for translating selected text into any language.
7. Three Finger Swipe
With this extension, you can control the browser with swipes. Just swipe left to go back, swipe right with three fingers to go forward. Swipe up will open a new tab, and down will close the current one.
In addition to support for extensions, mobile Firefox has many other cool features. It has a user-friendly interface, has a sync function, private browsing, built-in reading mode and much more.
