Imn loving floorp so far.
Just need one reason: Google.
For Android users, there's also the Firefox-based Mull.
I prefer Fennec, Mull is too restrictive. I get the appeal, but I want some of the comforts.
There’s like… no downside: all upside.
Edit: I exaggerated, of course. Below this are some downsides that individuals have experienced. But personally, my experience using Firefox on desktop for Mac has been all upside. If everybody who can just tries it out, you might be surprised at how friction-free the change is.
No, in my experience especially the Android version of Firefox is less smooth when playing animations or scrolling on older or lower end devices.
I really hope with the new Focus on Firefox mobile, that they will iron that out.
Use Fennec instead, no issues on Android
One thing I miss in Firefox is tab grouping. Yes there are 3rd party extensions that do that. But Chromium based browsers support that natively.
Sideberry is leaps and bounds better at it imo tho
It gives me anxiety, it's way too overcrowded and cluttered. I use Tree Style Tab. It does one thing, it does it well, it doesn't overcomplicate it, it works with me.
I will say it took me some time to get used to it, but it also is a lot easier to use than it used to, they made a lot of things better in the last update
I think it's one of those things that you have to sit down and test out and really figure out. Tree style tabs are also good though. I definitely think it's where sideberry got their inspiration
You haven't tried Vivaldi then. It has the best tab management features of any browser by leaps and bounds, it saddens me they chose Chromium over Gecko given that manifest v3 is coming.
I don’t like that Vivaldi can’t have multiple levels of grouping like you can in sideberry or tree style tabs
Yeah, this extension is crazy good. It works as if it was native.
Agreed, and it seems like Firefox has recently made an effort to accommodate the extension more, as it seems to run even better than it used to and is now a recommended extension
Not strictly true. Firefox gets inferior support from cloud services, like Microsoft. Newer versions of their Web apps are not available on Firefox.
But there should be no downside. It's all artificial.
The big services purposely degrade their sites when users connect with Firefox. It's well documented.
Unfortunately nothing is being done about it so far.
