I use the "Scrollbar Customizer" extension and set the scroll bar size to 0 - Highly Recommend!
Also I use "The New Tab - Customizer" extension to avoid that google slap you get with the default new tab page.
And of course "AdBlock" and "AdBlock for Youtube".

Chromium can exit full screen without losing all the menu bars and then crashing! Bonus!!

There is a crucial addon I use that just won't display on FF.  On Chromium it works without a hitch and I'm one (big) step closer to ditching the tethered android I drag around with me Smile .

My tip: Keep an @ symbol copied to the clipboard, you never know when you may need it, Big Grin Big Grin


Anyway, I need to enter my password to load it, is that normal?

Thanks!
Great tips thanks. Yes, Chromium based browsers are added to your key ring for extra security. You have to enter the password on first launch after each reboot of the phone to unlock it.
