Firefox is the ever-popular web browser, but here it’s for your phone, rather than on your computer screen. Boasting speedy responses, and the option to sync all your bookmarks, tabs, and history to your phone, it’s ideal for any regular Firefox user.

Google Chrome
Another browser, this one is pretty much a miniature version of the Chrome you may be used to using on your computer. While this may seem strange, it comes with its advantages: like Firefox, you can sign in and sync all your bookmarks, settings, and even the tabs you have open. Chrome is definitely one to have if you like an easy transition.

WhatsApp is very similar to Viber, but instead of doing phone calls it’s a messaging service that aims to replace your texts. The principle is all the same though; rather than using your allocated texts, you can instead use a smidgen of data – fantastic if you have an unlimited data plan.

Google Drive
Google Drive is a great cloud storage service, but it does double duty as an excellent mobile office suite.

Firefox Chrome is a great browser and is being bundled with more and more Android devices, but I encourage everyone to take a look at Firefox. The venerable browser’s mobile offering is as fast and robust as ever, and it gives you special tools to safeguard your privacy while browsing online.
