For instance the Images tab is quite degraded and different in Firefox (Can't swipe picture), I also noticed that some widget apps like soccer matches are degraded. try typing "Barcelona matches" in both browsers and notice how degraded the matches widget is in Firefox compared to chrome (For instance the matches are clickable in Chrome but not in Firefox). There are other examples that I can't remember right now, I am sure of it.<p>I also noticed that AMP isn't available in Firefox, though I am not a fan of AMP, I still find it weird that it's not available, considering Google's motives behind AMP, which is to improve user experience, allegedly.<p>Isn't this a bit anti competitive and alarming?
Because there are multiple evidences for years that Google purposefully degrades the user experience for people not using Google Chrome in order to entice them to switch. Happens mostly for Firefox but it also happens for Chromium (basically, almost all non Chrome browsers)<p>Check how long it takes for Gmail to load on Firefox to have a sneak peek on how the UX is degaraded.
Almost certainly because Firefox Mobile's share is too low for them to test on, which would mean it's safer to serve a stripped down results page that is guaranteed to work on any browser than to risk breaking search entirely for those users with shiny features. The fix is to encourage everybody else to use Firefox Mobile too and use an extension in the meantime like I do.

>AMP isn't available on mobile firefox
>it's Google's fault somehow<p>Is this just begging for karma? There isn't even version or OS info. How is anyone going to actually discuss this other than just arguing blindly?
> Isn't this a bit anti competitive and alarming?<p>Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by laziness.<p>(Variation on Hanlon's razor)
