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.

Funny to see this. I just switched last week (to get ublock) and it's o so much better. Only thing i miss is the translate function that chrome has

[–] parpol@programming.dev 33 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Thankfully, translate arrives soon as a plugin, and later as a native feature.

I am using a plug-in on my pc

What he means is the native off-line translation feature that Firefox now has on PC, you don't need a plugin for it: https://news.itsfoss.com/firefox-118-release/

[–] Bebo@literature.cafe 1 points 9 months ago

AFAIK it doesn't do real time translation of the web page (at least I couldn't figure out how). For that I use a plug in.

Would be great if Firefox Translations are brought to Android.

Please spread the word!

Along with the adblocker, the darkreader add on is my favourite.

The main thing I miss is auto fill. Firefox's auto fill for credit cards kinda sucks (often misses fields), and I don't think it auto fills addresses.

Isn't that a password manager? It also does credit cards? Maybe I'll check it out

[–] MSugarhill@feddit.de 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yes it is. And it does credit cards and addresses too. Theoretically you could design your own use cases, but you might miss categories for it.
