The number of people who use Firefox as a web browser lags somewhat behind Chrome's following, and this is a shame because Firefox has a lot of great features which aren't found on Chrome. Some of Firefox's great features include an in-built private browsing mode, lightning-speed browsing and searching, as well as the ability to synchronize all of your data over multiple devices.
In addition, Firefox includes a useful data-saving mode, which will make pages load a lot faster while limiting the amount of data it takes to do so. Firefox also has a number of features that'll help keep your browsing more private, such as sending 'Do Not Track' requests with your data, as well as blocking sites from recording your browsing habits.

If you're a music lover, then your phone absolutely can't do without Spotify! Despite the fact that both Apple and Google each have their own music streaming services, Spotify's brilliant weekly playlists and well-designed app interface keep it miles ahead of the pack.

If you opt to fork out $9.99 a month for a premium subscription, these ads will magically disappear, and you'll also get access to offline listening and customized playlists.
