> Firefox has stronger extension support on Android

Whitelisted extensions are not extensions at all but optional browser features developed by third parties.

There's no difference. All extensions provide optional features for the browser.

On Android, I would recommend Mull (a Firefox fork) over Firefox:

On Mull, you can install any compatible extension from https://addons.mozilla.org even if it's not whitelisted.* But a whitelisted extension is no less of an extension than a non-whitelisted one.
