• 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.

I want to switch to firefox but I haven't figured out how to do the custom searches that I have on Chrome.

Right now I can enter into the chrome bar, for example: s (space) Birds of Paradise (enter) which will translate into https://scryfall.com/search?q=birds%20of%20paradise&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name

I know I can right click on a given search and "add Keyword for this search" but that doesn't allow me to do custom URLs (e.g. www.reddit.comm/r/%s to go directly to a subreddit, rather than search).

edit: thank you so much everyone for these responses. I'm gonna make the switch :)

Definitely possible. Here is a tutorial I've been using: https://superuser.com/a/7374
