      Noice. I’m sure there’s mirrors up already. Article says it’ll eventually stop working tho. I know I have a few extensions that eventually were disabled daily and I had to enable them each time I started chrome

      This might be what makes he leave for Firefox full time. A bummer indeed

      Edit: ha, just saw what sub/community this is. I use FF but only for browsing… privately ;]

        Yea, I’ll have to switch eventually. But let’s hope the manifest v2 is not too difficult to put back in

        Why not just use Firefox all the time? Literally zero reason to use Chrome except for the rare website that doesn’t work with Firefox?

          I can understand them, I use Firefox on my PC, but Chrome on my phone, as I can’t live without tab groups there, for me it’s almost unusable without it, as I always have 100+ tabs open on my mobile browser

          When they’ll add it, I’ll use Firefox on both

              Using bookmarks as a substitute for tab groups is a very different user experience, though.

                  I don’t think so. As far as context switching goes, tab groups are faster and, having used both Chrome’s tab groups and Firefox’s bookmarks, I’d argue they’re easier to manage too.

                  The way I see it, each feature has different intended uses. Ideally, I wouldn’t use tab groups as a bookmarks substitute either… but sometimes it happens due to their advantages.
