As an aside, Firefox for Android is great for power users because it has extensions. It's much closer to feature-parity with desktop browsers than Chrome is, and offers more significant advantages over Chrome on Android than desktop as a result.

Yes! Firefox for Android is one of the primary reasons I haven't switched to an iPhone.

(There is a Firefox for iOS, but it's basically a skin on Safari because of Apple's restrictions.)

For power users, it's not just the extensions on Android (though it's a big part). It's the massively cross-platform for many years: Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Android, BB10, MacOS, and more (I'm only listing the ones I've used in somewhat recent memory). To have that feature parity across so many platforms has immense value to me. I can support family, friends, co-workers.
