Idk, I've used both browsers and I prefer Chrome in terms of features and UI. But it's not worth the privacy you get with Firefox
Like what? I can understand UI because that's a personal preference but there's nothing that Chrome does that Firefox doesn't. Hell, allowing you to download app extensions on mobile browsers is a game changer. No ads and background play on YT has changed my life
I personally really miss being able to group tabs. I don't think you're able to do it on Firefox, right?
Firefox has extensions that can help with this, but I find the way Chrome does it extremely useful. I'd still choose Firefox, but there are certainly a couple of features that Chrome has that can be helpful
I use Firefox now and have most of this year.
One thing that annoyed me was how much more awkward it is to switch between two user profiles .
In chrome I have a work email a personal email, each with its own account, and a different look. I can immediately tell which I'm using, and can switch between them with the button at the top right.
I managed to mess around and find an extension which kind of does the same thing, so I'm no longer missing the feature, but it's definitely jankier and doesn't work as smoothly.
Also, I don't know if it's a bitwarden issue, but autofill hardly ever works properly.
Sometimes I want to pull a tab into its own window on the other screen. You're not allowed to do this when the browser is full screen, only when it's windowed. Annoying.
These are my only issues with firefox I can think of.
I put in a good faith effort to switch to FF earlier this year. I really wanted to like it. I consider myself an expert user to so it wasn't just "I didn't know what I was doing." I recently switched back to Chrome. I hope FF gets better because I don't like recent Chrome news.
Lol, to me you seem more of a bullshit user than an expert user. No offense...
Which features? Chrome is barebones imo while others like Edge and Opera are the "glorified" browsers with many features.
To add to the other person said: Tab Groups. Firefox doesn't have anything like it
Was just about to say this. I finally switched today because Chrome tried to sign me up automatically for a bunch of ‘privacy enhancements’ which do the opposite.
The only thing I’m having trouble finding a good version of is tab groups.
I want tab groups that I can collapse and expand at will. Not one that hides my tabs, and which I can’t see two tab groups concurrently.
Firefox sorta does! If you only use tab groups (or profiles for that matter) to separate school tabs from work and personal tabs, I recommend giving the Multi-Account Containers extension a look.
PWA. Last time I seriously tried Firefox it's support for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) was non existent. When their issue tracker told me they have no plans for implementing it, I shed a single tear and then moved back to chromium.
I’ve used this extension successfully on Win10 to install PWAs, most recently Elk for Mastodon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/
That makes sense, I completely forgot PWA.
I primarily use Firefox, but the big one for me and the reason I haven't completely deleted Chrome is being able to create shortcuts with the "Open in a new window" option for specific URLs. Granted I'm not very tech savvy (just a little more aware than the average user) and primarily use a mac for my personal computer atm, but that feature is a game changer for me. As far as I know, other popular browsers don't offer it currently.
It's really useful for when there isn't a download or iOS app for a specific site/service, or when the web app is much better than the app or download option and I still want to be able to use it like a separate app from my browser.
I also wasn't able to download any software that wasn't on the Apple App Store with my work computer for my previous employer (super annoying, but I kind of get it). So it was essential if I wanted to have a separate and dedicated app/window at all for my work calendar, email, etc.
I love how I can visually organize the web apps I like to use separately from my browser, to save time and energy for daily use. I can customize the name and shortcut icon, pin them to my dock, organize them in folders in my launchpad, and even set them to launch on startup if I want. Not sure if there are reasonably easy ways to mimic this with Firefox, but I haven't found any yet.
