For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).
Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.
Mainly Firefox. It has quite a good extensions engine, but the overall UX just still isn’t there compared to other browsers. I really don’t care about all the ethical or moral reasons people try to come up with for using it, I just want a browser that has a lot of good functionality in comparison with Edge or Vivaldi.
And while I am aware of some of the forks like Floorp and Librewolf, I find the latter to be too hardened, and the former to be behind compared to upstream.
Firefox is really pretty customizable, more than most other browsers.
I’ve been using this theme: https://github.com/Naezr/ShyFox

This is the one I’m using, if anyone needs another suggestion. I also have some local modifications to remove the minimum tab size. I don’t have a hoarding problem.
out of curiosity, what’s the gap you perceive in the UX?
