using a phone to browse the internet

Definitely! I work at a computer 8-10 hours per day, 5 days a week. The last thing I want to do when I'm done working is sit at computer some more. I do almost all of my browsing on my phone. Firefox Mobile Nightly, plus NextDNS, plus Nord VPN, plus uBlock origin, plus a fake user agent string. I'm pretty secure on my phone.
