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.

    I want to use Firefox. Firefox used to have really cool tab groups, then they removed it, and the extensions that do it can sometimes lose your work. It’s a shame since pretty much every other browser has tab groups now.

    Vertical tabs are another thing that other browsers are adding and doing right, and Firefox is not. I don’t like the way they make stuff like tree style tabs use a sidebar and want something more native (which again, they used to have, or at least extensions could do, but now everything is worse and limited).

    I end up using Brave too, and I like Edge except Microsoft keeps doing shady things with it like uploading images to their servers and removing the ability to delete your sync data - so it ends up being a neat browser that I won’t touch.
