10 Reasons You Should Switch From Chrome to Firefox.::The best browser sync out there.
What was the downgrade in usability you saw? I used to be an avid chrome user turned Firefox, but I would say the opposite.
Tab Grouping would be my first pick.
When I first started using Firefox on Linux, dragging tabs was really reallyyyyyy bad but they have heavily improved it. UI just feels more polished on chrome
Sync doesn't work for me, though it seems to work for everyone else. It doesn't give me any error or a hint to what the problem might me, which is just bad UX.
Chromecasting an entire tab doesn't work, though I guess can't we can't blame Firefox for that, can we?
My unit tests take at the very least twice as long to run on Firefox
Pinned tabs occasionally just disappear and I have to create everything again. Extensions exist to prevent this but don't work with multi containers, which is honestly Firefox best feature.
What stops you from finding extensions that implement similar functionality? I know tree style tabs are pretty popular instead of tab grouping. This also so the first time I've heard of sync or pinned tabs not working. I'm kinda curious ab ur setup if youd be cool with sharing that? I feel like it might be a setup problem instead of a software one.
Firefox extensions can't mess with Firefox tabs. Sure you have extensions such as tree style tabs but they don't really change the tab bar, they add side-panel with your tabs in a tree style format. This means you end up with a tab bar and a tab panel, which is a bit clunky. There are ways to hide the tab bar by messing with the userChrome file but that's not user friendly at all.
I don't have any particular setup that is too outrageous or different from anyone else. I just use Firefox, whatever is the most recent version in the arch repository. Ocasionally I open the browser and I don't have any pinned tabs, I don't know why. It's not a frequent event or something tied to anything I can think off, it just appears to be random.

Damn I was wrong my b. Haha at least now I know Firefox doesn't work everywhere, I appreciate it.
It still works and is my daily driver! On both mobile and desktop!
I think it's extremely important to support Google alternatives and I will continue to do so. Firefox still has pain points and recognizing them is also important.
