Mobile web browsers have always been a little disappointing, but
Mozilla is making great strides into bringing its Firefox browser up to
the standard of the desktop edition. The Android version of the app
boasts an impressive feature set that sounds more reminiscent of desktop
software, but while the browser may be impressive, there is still room
for improvement.
This latest version improves page load times on 3G connections and
the overall performance of web browser is also accelerated thanks to
smoothing page panning and CSS3 animations. Privacy concerns can be
alleviated by enabling the Do Not Track option to prevent web sites from
recording information about online activity.
One of the key advantages of using Firefox over other mobile web
browser is that it is so closely linked to the desktop version of the
software. Settings and preferences can be easily synchronised between
platforms and support for add-ons means that the capabilities of the
browser can be extended and customised is a variety of ways.
But there is room for improvement. Lack of support for Flash means
that that many web sites cannot be viewed in the way intended, and as
there are no restriction on Flash supported like those imposed by Apple
in iOS, this is a strange omission.
