I’m just asking questions, as I haven’t personally had many issues. I’ve had some, but not the ones mentioned by the people here. I feel like people would prefer to have a browser with an ad blocker so I’m interested in what hurdles people are finding that may be stopping them.
15 years ago, Firefox would cause my desktop computer to spin up its really loud fan once or twice an hour. It was a room away from my bedroom, but it was enough to wake up my (now) wife, who was angry, but unable to identify the source of the noise. That lasted for a few weeks before I noticed it during the day. When I switched to Chrome, it stopped.
It’s totally unreasonable, but it’s enough to keep me off Firefox. I’m sure both browsers have been rewritten multiple times since then.
Well, it was, until the whole “web integrity thing”.
I used to use Firefox before chrome released. It used to be the best, but chrome took the crown after Firefox became a memory eater.
Now chrome is being all iTunes walled garden, and Firefox also recently overtook it in terms of speed.
I installed it alongside my trusty chrome install, played around with extensions(or add-ons) until the experience mostly matched, and switched over once I was satisfied.
Chrome’s still installed if I need it, but I haven’t needed it!
Been using it since the start of the year, the transition was pretty simple. what don’t you like?
I rely on chromes tab groupings. Nothing in Firefox does as good a job, but I’m getting by just fine for now.
Why so many tabs? I close as I go else it’s a cluttered mess.
Is your solution to Firefox not having proper tab grouping “why do you need tab grouping?” Lol
I don’t have a solution, so I’m having a conversation about it.
Don’t treat me like I own Firefox and it’s my job to convert everyone.
Why not? It seems like that’s exactly what you’re doing lol

Not everything is an argument.
Well… Most do? Lol you can install UBO on anything, or you can use browsers that come with it baked in like Vivaldi.
Ok. You seem like you have an issue with firefox.
Why would you recommend these browsers instead? Do they offer something better?
I usually have 30+ tabs grouped around in chrome. I got a lot going on and it helps keep my ADHD in check when I’m trying to work on something.
My version is starred emails in Gmail and folders full of bookmarks instead 😅
I hope they integrate a tab grouping functionality for you tab hoarders soon!

Yeah. That does sound unreasonable haha.

It’s worth a go at least!
