I really want to use Firefox, but feels a bit odd (self.firefox)

Don't get me wrong, I like Firefox a lot, but needs polishing.

I like -impopular opinion- the Proton UI (aka rounded tabs), containers are great, but has some flaws:

  • No PWA support
  • Bookmarks and history panels are unpractical (menus for both options are almost unusable)
  • A separate window for downloads, managing bookmarks? Really?
  • Pocket by default?

We need alternatives to Chromium, and Firefox is the "go to" option, but sometimes is disappointing to use it.

Being able to create a separate window for videos that stay on top of other windows is too good a feature for me.

The best feature ever. This feature convinced me to switch back to Firefox again. Got some days to get used to it and to find replacements for some specific add ons, but it works great.

The feature is called Picture-in-Picture. And yes, it's very handy.
