And one thing that irks is that you can't have a local file be your homepage and new tab page. I want to have all my work related links in a local immutable HTML page and every new tab or every time I open the browser it goes there for me to choose what of 5 links to pick....time sheet, team site, hr site, all the vendors sites etc...npr, my home servers etc. c'mon man! The only way to make it happen is to serve it on a local server that I am not allowed to install, or a server at home that I don't actually want to do.

Host it on Netlify or something similar, it's free.

I switched on my personal devices (need to use chrome for gsuite integrations at work).

On desktop, it's great and I'm loving it. And kicking myself for not switching back sooner after the massive-years-long-memory-leak was finally fixed a few years back

On mobile, it's mostly great. The privacy focus, ad block support, and plug-in support is a plus. But I realllly want the tab groups that mobile Chrome introduced a while back. That had such a great mobile UX that I've found myself still loading up chrome now and then when I find myself wanting that UX. I looked to see if there were plugins that could make that possible, but was disappointed to see none and let down that it seems impossible with the current tab implementation.

I just need one, being able to change if something in the code is against my interests.
