The final push to start using Firefox over Chrome on Android might finally be thanks to the enormous selection of add-ons (Firefox’s version of extensions) coming out next month. Chrome doesn’t offer native support for extensions in its mobile app. Also, better security.
Also you can switch the address bar to the bottom where it’s closer to your thumb
I don’t think I could ever get used to that.
I thought the same, but it only took me like 2 days to get used to it.
It was weird for like one day. Now I couldn’t ever go back. It’s SO convenient!
For me it often covers important elements of the site that way. Especially these annoying “use our app” overlays, and then the “continue using website” button is hidden behind the address bar with jo way to scroll it into view. So no way to use the website :(
If there was one thing Windows Phone and Windows 8 IE did well for mobile devices, it was the bottom orientated address bar.
I’m surprised that it took Android and iOS so long to adapt it; Firefox if i recall correctly adapted to it first in 2014 with an experimental Windows 8 mode that sadly was discontinued.
