Seems weird. I'm in Chrome right now and I can right-click on PDFs and click save as.
I mean once you get into a pdf. Sometimes web page opens it instead of allowing download. The built-in pdf browser of chrome has no option to save it locally on android phone. I have not been not precise in explaining, because I find Google and Android constantly reducing my ownership of my own phone and that's another brick in the wall here

Firefox? Weird question. I haven't even installed Chrome in the past 7 years. Firefox is fast (but I obviously don't know if Chrome is faster) and it never crashes.
Chrome does feel faster to me; I remember someone here saying that was because of some kind of procedural loading shenanigans or something. But the main hook for me is how websites look. I do a lot of reading on the browser, and fonts on Chrome always look better than on Firefox. I would switch to Firefox in a heartbeat if only things started looking the same on it.

"But their omission of Adblock in this article means they can't be credible." But adblockers do not fully solve the problem that the article is focused on. Namely, the use, e.g., by Meta and Yandex, of websockets in closed source mobile apps to listen on a loopback address for requests by mobile browsers, e.g., for tracking pixels. There are approaches to prevent such tracking that do not necessarily require adblocke…
Ad blockers can and do also block connections that aren't strictly "ads" themselves.
But the point of the comment was that there are other methods besides ad blockers running in browsers. There are often alternative methods that "tech journalists" rarely if ever mention.
Sometimes, these methods are arguably better. For example, some methods can limit _all_ connections, whether the connections are initiated from (a) browsers, (b) other applications or (c) pre-installed corporate operating systems.

firefox doesnt have Workspaces. I do 100% of my CSS in Chrome Workspaces
What do Chrome Workspaces have, that Firefox Profiles don't have?
Basically, you can press "ctrl S" for save, straight from the dev console. In FF, you have to manually designate the save location each time. It may seem like a small thing, but it's an entirely different workflow.
For frameworks that don't use plain stylesheets, it may not be useful.
