Recently I installed Firefox on my parents' phones (uBlock Origin too) in order to make them surf the web more securely as we've had a few cases in the past with malware. (Google Chrome, the advertisement company's browser, does not like ad blockers. Wonder why?)

All they care about it is it openning Google.com and apparently they don't like Firefox's home screen. There are only options for "the last tab", "home screen" and "home screen after few hours of inactivity" but no option to go to a specific web address. In this case, google.com.

So... how do?

You can explain them google is already integrated, they can use the address bar to type their query and hit enter to ask Google whatever they want.

I already did. And they "don't like" it. They want to see the Google logo for some reason.

My father also couldn’t digest this information. I chose to pick my battles and let him keep doing it his way because there’s a limited amount of influence I could spend.
