    I’ve tried firefox in the past. Back and forth I go when google does something dumb but I always go back. This time I think I’ll deal with the stuff I don’t like for now, or maybe make extensions to fill the voids that I miss desperately.

        Yes. This. Chrome’s multi-profile mode is perfect. Firefox’s about:profile bullshit is just awful.

        Im still FireFox only, but I would love to see some improvement in this area.

          Agreed - they really just need to roll the ‘Profile Switcher for Firefox’ extension into base functionality - and this would have the benefit of not requiring an additional install to work.

        I rely on chromes tab groupings. Nothing in Firefox does as good a job, but I’m getting by just fine for now.

          Why so many tabs? I close as I go else it’s a cluttered mess.

            Is your solution to Firefox not having proper tab grouping “why do you need tab grouping?” Lol

              I don’t have a solution, so I’m having a conversation about it.

              Don’t treat me like I own Firefox and it’s my job to convert everyone.

                  I’m just asking questions, as I haven’t personally had many issues. I’ve had some, but not the ones mentioned by the people here. I feel like people would prefer to have a browser with an ad blocker so I’m interested in what hurdles people are finding that may be stopping them.

                  Not everything is an argument.

                    Well… Most do? Lol you can install UBO on anything, or you can use browsers that come with it baked in like Vivaldi.

            I usually have 30+ tabs grouped around in chrome. I got a lot going on and it helps keep my ADHD in check when I’m trying to work on something.

              My version is starred emails in Gmail and folders full of bookmarks instead 😅

              I hope they integrate a tab grouping functionality for you tab hoarders soon!
