Mozilla Firefox Browser Android Mozilla firefox browser android Continue Surf Web comfortably, relying on the speed, security and power settings of the latest update at 10/15/20 There have been 9 updates over the past 6 months also available on iOS, Mac and Windows Mozilla Firefox for Android competing with many mobile web browsers, mainly Google Chrome, which is preinstalled on most Android devices, giving Chrome a much larger market share. This is unfortunate because Firefox for Android has a number of interesting and unique features such as support for add-ons, data synchronization without a Google account, and the ability to integrate search engines that Chrome won't. Pros Firefox for Android supports add-ons (aka extensions): Firefox is the only major Android browser we've found that allows you to install add-ons, although not all desktop Firefox add-ons are compatible. However, in some cases, add-on support is not required - for example, you will use the password manager's app rather than an extension. But say you want to download a flash video over Wi-Fi and then watch it later rather than streaming it via a 4G or 3G connection and eat in your monthly data cover. Chrome on Android won't let you do that. Chrome on Android also won't allow you to install the popular HTTPS Everywhere add-on, which tries to force encrypted connections to enhance privacy. And Chrome on Android doesn't make ad blockers. Custom search engines: Most people default to Google, and that's probably a good thing. But if you prefer DuckDuckGo to enhance privacy, this is not an option in Chrome on Android. In Firefox, when you go to the website search function, a long click in the search box opens the menu with a magnifying glass with the sign I'm next to it. Pressing this button adds this site to the list of available default search engines in Firefox. DuckDuckGo is already on this list, so you don't need to add it manually. Unfortunately, you can't quickly change from one search engine to another as you can in the desktop version of Firefox, but it's progress. Data Synchronization: Chrome users can sync their bookmarks, tabs, and navigation history on multiple devices. You can start on your phone and pick up where you left off on your laptop or tablet. But it turns out that Firefox also has synchronization, and this is done independently of any Google service. Using this means creating another account online, but Firefox synchronization can help people who want to keep their jobs and leisure browsing divided. This is important not only for privacy, but also for accurate search for offers. Cleaning up your personal data is all or nothing: if you want to erase your history, cookies, and browser cache, Chrome lets you choose a few time-honors last hour, last day, last week, last four weeks and the beginning of time. Firefox has only the last option. You can't just delete things that have happened recently. It's probably not a big big big for most users, but it's worth mentioning for those times when you need to fix your search suggestions (or erase some regrettable browsing history). Chrome also tells you how much megabyte space it takes to cache your browser. Catalog add-ons don't filter out desktop add-ons: Mozilla's addition catalog is easy enough to navigate, but we'd like to be able to switch visibility to items that are compatible with the mobile version of Firefox. It's not a perfect user experience when you find an interesting app, but you can't install it in a mobile browser. The bottom line of Firefox support for add-ons on Android allows you to refine your browsing experience for something meaningfully better than the experience that Chrome - or any other mobile browser that we've come across so far - can provide on Android. The advantage is so distinctive that it's hard to make a case for Chrome as your default choice. This advantage is mitigated by Firefox add-on directory list items that are not compatible with the mobile version of the web browser, but fortunately the most popular ones usually work on both platforms. Since Firefox is completely free to use (as are its additions, although donations to developers are welcome), you can judge for yourself with minimal investment.

  • Why Websites Can Change Without Warning
    Why Websites Can Change Without Warning WHY WOULD MY WEBSITE LOOK DIFFERENT WITHOUT NOTICE? HISTORY: Your website is a series of files & databases. Websites used to be “static” because ​ there were only a few ways to view them. Now we have a complex system, and telling your webmaster what device, operating system and browser is crucial, here’s why: TERMINOLOGY: You have a desktop or mobile “device”. Desktop computers and mobile ​ ​ ​ devices have “operating systems” which are software. To see your website, you’ll pull up a ​ ​ ​ ​ “browser” which is also software, to surf the Internet. Your website is a series of files that ​ ​ needs to be 100% compatible with all devices, operating systems and browsers. Your website is built on WordPress and gets a weekly check up (sometimes more often) to ​ ​ ​ see if any changes have occured. Your site could also be attacked with bad files, links, spam, comments and other annoying internet pests! Or other components will suddenly need updating which is nothing out of the ordinary. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IF SOMETHING HAS CHANGED? Any update to the following can make your website look differently: There are 85 operating ​ systems (OS) that can update (without warning). And any of the most popular roughly 7 ​ ​ ​ browsers also update regularly which can affect your site visually and other ways. (Lists below) ​ Now, with an OS or browser update, your site’s 18 website components likely will need ​ ​ updating too. Once website updates are implemented, there are currently about 21 mobile ​ devices, and 141 desktop devices that need to be viewed for compatibility.
