I switched a couple of months ago because Chrome is just a bloated piece of garbage. One of my favorite features in Firefox is containers, which I used to have different users for in Chrome. Maybe Chrome has something similar now but it's one of the things I liked when I switched over. Haven't had any issues so far, glad I did
I hope so because almost every bug I run into during webdev is Chrome, and usually I'm told it's intended behavior or a WONTFIX. With the way Google tries to strongarm standards and at the same time defy them, it's the modern Internet Explorer and it's a PITA to develop for.
What the heck bugs are you running into that surface as a result of chrome being chrome? I’m no google fan but I find chrome to be far and away the most stable and enjoyable browser to debug with.
So in my case I go to work and get reports that X is no longer working, lucky for me in JS is easy to patch third party code and fix this issue but I could not find a ticket that explains why Chrome did this.

One that's particularly annoying to me a while ago was you cannot drag and drop elements from an iframe to another iframe from another domain. IIRC it was only an issue in Chrome.
To be fair, you can't blame them for disallowing things like that. Protection against cross-site scripting, I'm sure.
I tried to switch just now, looks like uMatrix doesn't work in Firefox? That's a blocker for me... I've spent a lot of time creating a ruleset on uMatrix, not looking to try recreating that.
There is an add-on called uMatrix for FF. I haven't tried it so I cn't tell you if it works or not. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix/
uMatrix could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.
Can someone remind me what will happen to all the chromium derivatives that support ad block? Will Google restrict their functionality? If Firefox and Safari are the last browsers to support ad block, then they totally stand a chance.
Safari actually did the same recently[1], so it's not an alternative if you dislike this move by Chrome. The only difference seems to be the limit of rules (30k for Chrome vs 50k for Safari, whereas some lists used by uBO have over 75k).

For Apple users (MacOS, iOS), I would suggest Safari over Firefox as FF is the most hacked browser and very unsafe. On the other hand, Safari syncs bookmarks, tabs on all your Apple devices very seamlessly.
I wouldn't call Firefox unsafe. But Safari's sync for bookmarks, passwords, tabs, handoff... is really the killer feature. I use Firefox as my "virgin" broswser for testing or when I need to manually override proxy settings for my own MitM purposes. But that's about it.

Does anybody know what kind of knob I have to turn on/off in FF to make this disappear?

> But I can't see the tab's favicon or letters because they're 100% hidden from me. You can scroll on the tab bar.
What's wrong with a fixed tab bar? Like the one in Chrome?

Please stop using AdBlock/AdBlockPlus. Use uBlock Origin instead.
How come? (I tend to use uMatrix.)
