someone hasn't heard of Firefox on Android.
Yes, it works on Firefox Android and Ios. So, that article is not 100% correct
Howtogeek is not exactly known for good journalism so it’s fine, I guess.
At least in the EU, you xan easily change search engines on chrome on android.
can you set a custom URL, which is required to do what the article is talking about, or do you just pick from the predefined list of search engines?
edit: just checked and nope, you can only pick from Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia.
You have to visit a different search engine. And while the tab is open it appears in the list of selectable search engines. At least that is how I set up searxng as my default se.
Are there any extensions that fix Google on the mobile version of FireFox? It doesn't have all the same extensions available on PC, where I do have one that fixes Google.
The "web" category thing the article talks about is not an actual fix.
depends on what you mean by "fixing", I guess. I just resorted to not using Google at all, and use uBlacklist to filter out garbage websites from my search results.
The most recent version now includes a lot more extensions, and I think you can get even more with the nightly build. If you really can't find what you need, try one of the Firefox forks, which often have even better extension support.
