And what needs would that be?

[–] ultimate_question 47 points 10 months ago

idk about OP but I use chrome because in Firefox I have to manually download my web history and send it to Google so they can log it for my security, Chrome streamlines this process and ensures Google has my data even if I mistakenly wonder onto a website they don't have trackers on

Off the top of my head:

  • Tab tiling
  • Multi-level tab bars
  • Workspaces
  • Automatic session backups
  • Sidebar panels
  • Spotlight-like global search
  • Commands to toggle parts of the Ul
  • Custom toolbar buttons

I'm pretty sure that all of that are from extensions you would have installed for chrome?

Spotlight-like global search

Whats that supposed to mean? That you can use macOS Spotlight to search the web with? Yeah same thing with firefox, atleast under linux.

Commands to toggle parts of the Ul

Like pressing F12 for fullscreen?

Custom toolbar buttons

Like themes?

No? Chrome isn't the only web browser in existence.

Whats [Spotlight-like global search] supposed to mean?

That I can bring up a search bar that'll search my history, closed tabs, bookmarks, open tabs, the web and more all at once.

Like pressing F12 for fullscreen?

Not only that, also selectively hiding the tab bar, address bar or specific sidebar panels.

Like themes?

No, like custom toolbar buttons that do custom things when clicked.

I'm using Vivaldi, made by a small but honest company in Norway founded by ex-Opera employees: https://vivaldi.com/features/
