Firefox nightly 100%
Being able to use Add-ons makes it world's better than other mobile browser's. I use Firefox on my desktop so it's all synced between and I can grab tabs from either which is handy too.
I have to use Microsoft Launcher because I have a Pixel and the ad-riddled Google search is baked into Pixel's native launcher.
Bit out of scope of the post but do you recommend Microsoft launcher? I have a pixel as well and the google search bar on the bottom annoys me.
I do recommend it. Offers a lot more customisation. The At a Glance is worlds more useful than Google's news section and the Microsoft news is better).
It lets you overhaul the whole layout. I replaced the Google search with a bing search widget which opens up in Firefox. Can also just put a Firefox widget if you prefer.
So nice not having every search appear in a temporary window that disappears when I search a second thing. Even nicer not to have adverts on every search.
