I want to like Firefox, and I use it regularly, but I just veer back to Chrome. I still prefer the UI and extensions (which Chrome still has the 'edge' in).

Out of curiosity, what extensions do you miss? I've never really used anything beyond the usual privacy extensions (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and HTTPS everywhere). All of which seem to be as well or better supported in FireFox.

Mainly Google extensions (yeah, not coming anytime soon): Keep and Chrome Remote Desktop are two of my favourite services.

I only used Chrome Remote Desktop for the first time two weeks ago. I was blown away how easy it was the setup and how well it worked.

Side-point: Steam In-Home Streaming is great for this as well. You're able to jump into a regular desktop and the protocol is highly optimised.

This is the best alternative I've found when using Firefox instead of Chrome.

Same here. I use Firefox+adblocker on mobile for some sites. I don't know why it is, but i just dislike the UI of Firefox. I want to like it more, but it just doesn't work out...

Yeah, Firefox on mobile sucks, but they are fortunately working on a major update. Firefox on the desktop rocks tho.

You can test drive the new "Firefox Preview" on Android here:
