It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox (www.androidpolice.com)

• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

To me its currently the opposite.

I use Firefox for personal use, but I exclusively use Chromium for work just because of the amazing Tab Groups feature. I can't work without it anymore

Well on your personal Firefox try Simple Tab Groups and Tree Style Tabs.

I can't use chrome because it doesn't have these extensions.

[–] UnfairUtan 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're recommending these, then I don't think you've tried chrome's tab groups. These two extensions are awful compared to it

But thanks for suggesting

I used to use chrome's tab groups, they were definitely helpful. Until I wanted to organize things. Tab Groups lacks a lot of the features of the extensions I'm suggesting. I spent lots of time looking for feature rich options in Chrome before ultimately switching to Firefox because it was simply better.

Chrome's session/history manager also isn't great, so if I had multiple windows open I had to be careful about how I closed them, otherwise I could easily lose a lot of my tabs. This also wasn't possible with forced shutdowns.

I see

I'll give them another chance then, maybe I wasn't thorough enough when I tested them 1-2 years ago.

Thanks!

ever heard about browser extensions?

[–] UnfairUtan 1 points 1 year ago

Trust me I've looked at all of them, they're just bad compared to chromium's integration.

Wow tell me more about it!
