It is, and is a lifesaver.

Essential extensions: uBlock Origin, Decentralize, Ghostery, Privacy Possum, Privacy Badger, NoScript, Ghostery.

I wish Stylus (CSS manager) was supported.

Its tab management / display is also vastly superior to Chrome's.

Firefox/Android (or Fennec via F-Droid) has some annoyances:

- No keyboard hotkeys.

- Doesn't full-screen maximise.

- No print-to-PDF.

- No per-site font or zoom settings.

- No per-site cookie management.

- Weak Bookmarks controls (bookmarks cannot be reordered once saved).

For a mobile browser, though, it's pretty good. Far superior to Chrome IMO, except on older devices where there's still a noticeable performance penalty (a 2015-era Samsung tablet).
