      Not strictly true. Firefox gets inferior support from cloud services, like Microsoft. Newer versions of their Web apps are not available on Firefox.

      But there should be no downside. It’s all artificial.

        The big services purposely degrade their sites when users connect with Firefox. It’s well documented.

        Unfortunately nothing is being done about it so far.

      One thing I miss in Firefox is tab grouping. Yes there are 3rd party extensions that do that. But Chromium based browsers support that natively.

            Agreed, and it seems like Firefox has recently made an effort to accommodate the extension more, as it seems to run even better than it used to and is now a recommended extension

          You haven’t tried Vivaldi then. It has the best tab management features of any browser by leaps and bounds, it saddens me they chose Chromium over Gecko given that manifest v3 is coming.

          It gives me anxiety, it’s way too overcrowded and cluttered. I use Tree Style Tab. It does one thing, it does it well, it doesn’t overcomplicate it, it works with me.

            I will say it took me some time to get used to it, but it also is a lot easier to use than it used to, they made a lot of things better in the last update

            I think it’s one of those things that you have to sit down and test out and really figure out. Tree style tabs are also good though. I definitely think it’s where sideberry got their inspiration

      I have to use Chrome for…

      1. Logging into PSN, since something in Firefox hard locks when I try it. I think it’s to do with Firefox’s password manager.

      2. VR porn.

      3. Some videos. Firefox doesn’t support certain video types (namely HEVC/H.265) due to patent issues.

      No, in my experience especially the Android version of Firefox is less smooth when playing animations or scrolling on older or lower end devices.

      I really hope with the new Focus on Firefox mobile, that they will iron that out.
