Lower quality search result pages in third-party browser engines on Android #12

Description

The web search experience is tightly integrated with a number of built-in features in Android (see #8), and the experience provided to Firefox is inferior compared to the version provided for Chrome. As seen in the screenshots below, identical search terms show less information and receive a lower quality design in Firefox on Android.

While strictly speaking this is an issue with the Google Search website, given the prominence and integration of search on Android this is a meaningful user experience gap that creates an incentive for users to not choose a third-party browser - especially those implemented with third-party browser engines, like Firefox. There are no technical limitations which would prevent this page from operating in Firefox: an equal experience should be offered.
