    Amen. I’m just waiting for them to screw everything up and I’ll follow along.

    t. Currently using Brave

        It really isn’t though. I also started using Firefox recently and I miss tab groups on mobile as well as on my PC. Yes, there is the simple tab groups add-on, but it just doesn’t compare.
        Brave is also easier to set up ad-blocking, because it comes with ad-block enabled and script-blocking two clicks away.

        Don’t get me wrong, I will continue to use FF, but Brave has some features, FF does not have (yet).

          Tab groups is the biggest thing I’m missing after I made the switch the other week. I’m used to having loads of tabs open, so not being able to easily minimize the ones I’m currently using is annoying to say the least.

          One plus is containers. Only opening Meta sites in their own container, same with Google/Youtube is pretty neat.

            Tab groups and container tabs are the two things I want. Tab groups I’m missing a lot. The extension is not available on mobile.

              Remembered one more thing; in Firefox I can only have 31 tabs open before the scroll bar appears. In Chrome it’s closer to 90-100! That’s kinda huge imo.

                  I did set the tabMinWidth first, but the result was… lackluster… to say the least (I like having ~50-100 tabs per window…). However, I JUST found out about userChrome.css before you wrote, and also found code that worked for it!

                  For anyone else interested:

                  Guide on creating the userChrome.css file: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html

                  Code that should be added to the file: .tabbrowser-tab { min-width: 1em !important; clip-width: 1em !important; }

            time to return using bookmarks, at least those can be categorized much better

              Oh I hate bookmarks for that purpose, I already have too many as is. Found a way to make the tabs even smaller though, so not having a scroll bar for them will be very nice!

            Some sites don’t adhere to standards, it’s like old IE all over again. You go to load the site on FF and some check form doesn’t work. This happens on 3 sites that I have to use.

            I left chrome for FF. Used it almost exclusively for a few years, it’s good enough. Recently it got some needed boosts via Microsoft not screwing them.

            About 6 months ago I started working with IPFS a lot. Brave baked in support and it’s pretty good, so I use brave as my primary and FF as my secondary. I was using some tools to sync bookmarks, but now I just pop into FF and import from brave every now and then.

            Brave is better and anti-fingerprinting, if someone is going to sell my data, I think I’d rather give it to brave than google.

          The more that use Chromiun, the more likely WEI will be rolled out and the death of ad blockers comes quicker.

      No need to wait, Firefox is already a strong competitor (in terms of features, not market share). Adblock on Firefox mobile makes mobile sites so much easier to use.

        I don’t know how people navigate the internet without adblock on mobile. Each website is a nightmare with the majority of the screen being ads.

          Yeah, ff mobile may be complete garbage UX/security wise, but its the only usable mobile browser IMO, simply because of ublock support.

              According to the GrapheneOS docs

              Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android.

              Apparently Firefox’s sandbox is still substantially weaker than chromium and it is currently much more vulnerable to exploitation.

                Oh that’s right. I read the same thing some time ago and had completely forgotten. Thanks for bringing it up.

              I guess you could argue that having ublock is a pretty big deal for security though. Regardless I won’t consider an alternative unless it offers ublock, even if ux or security is better - happy to sacrifice convenience for privacy and usability.
