If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

There default settings are highly unsecure.

There is a Firefox fork called librewolf which addresses that.

If I were to install this on an Android phone that currently has Firefox and uBlock Origin, will this appear as a second browser app? Or does this overwrite FF? (Yes, I am tech illiterate. )

I don't think it's available on android. But if it is, then I would expect it to be it's own separate app that can coexist with the regular firefox. That's how it is on PC.
