Say what you want about Google products, but they're all built to be functional without touchscreens or mice. I fucking love that.

I've been daily driving firefox since the early 2000s, but Mozilla is just about the worst offender, because keyboard options exist, but are obviously programing afterthoughts. In firefox settings, there are some "alt" letters (underlined letters that you can select by pressing alt+that letter) But some of those letters are capitalized, so now, you have to press shift+alt+letter. PAIN

Carrot browsing (navigate websites with the keyboard) can be activated with F7. A dialogue box pops up to confirm and it has the option "do not show this again", but that option is a checkbox only the mouse can check. (no tab over). RAGE

I dunno, man... They start off good, but eventually they either completely kill off something or change it dramatically in ways that make zero sense out of nowhere when it's been perfect and good for over a decade. It's the one major issue I have with Google's products. Can't even use their fucking search engine anymore because it seems like overnight the relevancy of the pages shown based on a search went from 80% accurate to seemingly generated by AI and so completely not what I searched that I actually started using Bing.

Keyboard shortcuts aren't much of a consolation prize.
