What is the significance of a different browser when the search engine is Google anyway? And if I use a search engine other than Google, I will lose the benefits of Google Maps, the Google keyboard (for example, entering through a microphone) Basically, Google has a monopoly. Is that so?!

Hi

Different browsers have different tools to assist your browsing experience - for example, Firefox for Android has Enhanced Tracking Protection that prevents adverts from following your around the web.

You can still use Google Maps on Firefox for Android and I myself use voice search through the Google keyboard app.
