Although all of the browsers use the same underlying engine, performance
can still differ quite a bit. Here's a web page where you'll see that
Firefox compares favorably with Safari, while Chrome and Opera lag a bit
behind:

There may be plenty of reasons to choose one web browser over another.
One may have a simpler or more intuitive interface for a particular
user. The reason I prefer Firefox is because I use that browser across
all of my platforms, Windows, Linux, Android and IOS, and I can keep my
information synced across any instance of Firefox I run on any platform.
The Reader function in Safari is definitely a reason to stick with
Safari. I'm not sure if this has an analogous function in Firefox or
not, but I hope so, and I need to take a look for it.
Bottom line is there are plenty of reasons to use one browser or app
over another. If they were all the same then there wouldn't be so many
options. Give them a try and use the one that feels the best to you.

Actually, on I O S, firefox uses the safari engine to display web pages, so the
pages will read the same way they do in safari, therefore, while it's good that
firefox is accessible, I'm not sure if there is really any benefit to using it
over safari.

I wasn't aware that Firefox was accessible for the iPhone. I know on platforms
like windows, there is a reader that makes it like the safari reader. Is that
feature available on the iPhone version? I really like the safari reader. I
wouldn't be willing to give that up.

Hi all,
I just thought I'd mention how much I'm enjoying the FireFox browser on the
iPhone. It appears very straightforward and I particularly like that it's
easier and more consistent when it comes to closing opened pages:
If anyone hasn't given it a look, I'd recommend you may wish to do so.
