have you tried it recently?
I was of the same opinion for a long time, used to dev in chrome, now I use exclusively firefox, I think it's better or at least, there is nothing I miss from chrome.

Using it since the last major revamp of Firefox Android on all my devices.
And if you miss PWAs, Firefox got an extension for it now. Check out PWAsForFirefox. And unless Edge and Chrome, you can edit the name before pinning the site.
A few bugs and drawbacks though. It uses its own profile, so you will probably want Firefox Sync to transfer your password vault and extensions to it.

Has Firefox gotten the feature to group or stack tabs together? I used to use Firefox and that was the main reason I moved to a chromium based one (Currently Vivaldi). I just need that 90% of the time

I switched back when I was in college - which is strange because it came out one year after I left. I also remember having to take a class on how to use Google in my first year of college - which gives you a hint how long ago it was.
I'd love to get away from Chromium based browsers. At the moment I am using Brave.
Is there any other browser that works on and syncs between: MacOS, iPhone / iPad AND Windows? It also has to have adblock capabilities on all of the devices. FireFox with uBlock Origin would be my first choice but afaik you can't block ads on iPad / iPhone on it.
Any recommendations?

Jokes on you. I've never used Chrome (outside of work limitations). I always liked the way Firefox looked over Chrome so never really got into it. I do use Edge Chromium every so often since some pages work better, but not sure if this would apply or not.
Also, does anyone know about the Duckduckgo beta browser, specifically what engine it uses? I tried it on a couple pages, but it seems pretty buggy right now.
