In a browser market increasingly dominated by behemoths like Microsoft (Edge) and Google (Chrome), Firefox remains the outsider’s choice. Mozilla has rebranded itself the "non-profit champion of the internet", and is making the case for independent developers.

Its Firefox web browser currently accounts for under 10% of the desktop browser market, but it’s made strides to develop mobile apps to provide its userbase with a cross-platform alternative to Chrome or Safari.

Mozilla had tried to stand up to Apple's insistence that all third-party browsers be built around its own WebKit engine, but in the end caved in to produce this app. That may rankle with Firefox diehards, but in Mozilla’s defence, the browser it's produced does look and feel like Firefox.

The design and basic functionality all feel familiar, and thanks to support for Firefox Sync, you can bring your bookmarks and other settings into it, plus access synced tabs too. Firefox also promises to be more careful when it comes to privacy, with Private Browsing mode and easy options for deleting history, passwords and other tell-tale signs of your browsing.

Other features include intelligent search, which polls multiple search engines for results. A number are set up, but you can add any search provider to craft the perfect one-stop search tool.
