Firefox is great! I have never been to a website where it doesn't work, and the future of the internet relies on people ditching chrome based browsers (don't kid yourself, chromium = supporting chrome and monopolistic companies)
Sadly haven’t had the same experience. There are some websites that are broken and Canvas particularly didn’t play videos well on Firefox. Also, it has been really laggy for me lately and watching videos has been laggy. There are also no tab sorting options. I love Firefox and still use it, but it’s not all great.
For me the worst part is sites with crappy JavaScript not working in it. It's like they didn't even test it in Firefox. Our time tracking and accrual systems at work and my bank system don't operate particularly well in Firefox. Whenever people do refreshes on websites it's kind of hit or miss whether they actually work out of the box.
I've converted over to mainly running Brave because It's more aggressive about blocking tracking while still remaining almost completely chrome compatible.
I generally still keep a Firefox browser window open but it's mainly to play YouTube videos.
When Microsoft offered GPT to edge users I flipped over and started using that for a while. I loaded it down with all my normal Chrome plugins. For me it's faster unless ram heavy than Firefox, Chrome, or Brave, I just don't trust openly giving all of my browsing data to Microsoft.
A major issue now is that some sites actually unknowingly rely on bugs in Chrome, so they don't work properly in other browsers that don't have the same bugs. Mozilla do ship some workarounds with Firefox (where it detects sites that rely on bugs and patches them to work properly) but obviously they can't test everything.
I love Firefox, but had to go to Edge due to tab groupings. How Firefox doesn’t have this yet boggles my mind. The day I see they have groups, I’ll be all over it again.
On the Mozilla feature request page, it is the highest voted post and is currently being “investigated” by the team. But it’s been like that for a while, so I stopped holding my breath. It will come one day (hopefully) considering how much demand there is for it.
What so you mean by "tab sorting options"?
Chromium has tab groups where you can easily add or remove tabs from a group. It makes it easy to drag it out to a different window, bring it into an existing window, and the groups are collapsible.
I usually have a lot of forums open, work tabs, and just other stuff. Right now, my solution is dealing with it/creating separate windows, but it gets messy really fast when you have 4-6 different windows. It becomes a game of which one has the tab I’m looking for.
I use an add-on called tab groups for organizing tabs.
I’ve tried them all, but I really prefer how Chromium handles it.
