I just downloaded the latest version to try again. Used Firefox a lot years ago then went with Chrome so I could sync all my devices.

I did too but got tired of Google tracking everything and trying to get away from it.

Google already knows everything about everybody.

Try blocking Google everything from your system and you don't get far these days.

Read this and use the link to delete your data...some or all. Do it once in awhile so they have to reset things.

Good tips. Will do that to my phone today.

Wish there were third party systems to run phones.

Tried Firefox on my phone and it was so sloooooooooooooow. I had to remove it .

It works fine on my Moto G4.

Shutting off Google tracking was such a good idea that I had already done it.

Totally forgot that I did that. Sometimes I wonder about me.

A very real possibility!
