Same here, I recently installed Firefox on a new Android device and am very much enjoying the privacy features, particularly the adblocking capability via add-ons.

The only three things I miss from Chrome are:

- swiping down to refresh page

- a Delete action on the menu of text box selections

- the option to run webpages as separate apps

For that last one, I do use Chrome for a couple of sites (Wordle and Quordle), but Firefox is excellent for everything else.



3 work on my machine (Firefox 102 on Android 12) if the site is a PWA else it lets you to have a link in your home screen.

The option is "Add to home screen"/"Install app" in the menu.

Also about 1: did you tried to put the bar in the bottom?


Firefox removed PWA support on desktop. It still exists on Android.
