With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Firefox on Android is just not good enough. Mostly slow and glitchy, last time I checked a few months ago. And at least one website wouldn't load the mobile version properly. In fact, I'm still struggling to find a really good browser for mobile.

Been using Firefox for Android for last couple of years and it has been great! Been using it exclusively on a OnePlus 7T and Samsung S21FE. You should really try it again. Extension support is icing on the cake.

It may be more private, but it is not as secure. (On Android).

See https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html and all of the linked references.

Think you replied to the wrong comment, I don't understand.

You could try Mull, a Firefox fork that is slightly hardened out of the box. It works quite well in my experience.

I use Firefox (librewolf) on desktop and Brave on mobile, its privacy respecting (with the right options) and has a quite a few things built in to block ads and trackers
