  I had to switch when they got rid of the bottom address bar on mobile, some years ago. All the other benefits are sprinkles on the cake for me.

    You can put the address bar wherever you like on mobile.

      At first you could still change it in the config, then they made it persistent on Chrome back then which was really annoying.

    Switch to or from Firefox?

      That time I switched from Chrome to Firefox. Naturally not only on mobile, but Desktop and Laptop too.

  I had to stop using Firefox because it’s too ram intensive on all my devices. I get low system memory errors on my Windows machines after it’s been open for a while. My Android devices just lock up when I try to use it. I haven’t tried it on my Linux machines because I just assume it will have the same affect. I don’t understand how people are successfully using it on anything except maybe Apple. I don’t have any Apple devices to try it on.

    I only use it on Linux, and it’s lighter and faster than chrome.
