Pick Your Poison
Choose Firefox if...
Firefox for Android is a solid choice for users prioritizing privacy and customization through extensions. However, potential users should be aware of the reported performance issues and UI changes that might impact their browsing experience; those seeking a leaner, more stable experience might consider alternatives.

Google Voice remains a useful free service for obtaining a secondary phone number and managing communications across devices, especially for those needing a consistent number across carrier changes. However, be aware of its potential reliability issues and outdated features before fully relying on it as your primary communication method.
