#22Firefox with the containers extensions powers all of my browsing. In a bewildering turn of events, Microsoft Edge Dev powers my more intricate development needs.
That's my combo as well

#23>> Your item did not comply with the following section of our policy: An extension should have a single purpose that is clear to users.
Any speculation on what the supposed multiple purposes would be?
From past experience, is that type of thing something that is automatically flagged / determined programmatically or does a human reviewer of an extension make the call?

Odd - my experience is the opposite. FF is noticeably slower than Chrome, and my Chrome installation is loaded with extensions, unlike Firefox. Phoronix's tests seem to back my experience as well. From 4 days ago: "As for the Firefox vs. Chrome performance, Google's web browser continues generally delivering better performance." https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=firefox6...
Agreed. Plus it doesnt have Picture-in-picture But I use FF as my main
PIP is a good point, not supporting play/stop via Bluetooth is another for me personally.

#25Chrome has always been best as a Google client. You can browse Maps in it, use Google Apps, they always work well.
For regular browsing it had some nice security features but always lacked an equivalent to Tree Style Tabs. And will soon become useless without a decent ad blocker.

#26Is anyone really surprised? Google makes all its revenue from ads. A couple months ago there was an incident where if I recall correctly, someone published a browser on the play store which allowed users to install desktop browser extensions, one of which was an adblocker for YouTube, and it was removed with vague reasons? Google has been taking steps for a long time to make it harder for adblockers to work on Chrome…
Not surprised, but a bit baffled why they allowed for uBO for such a long time in the first place? It looks as if they misused the community's products and trust to build their monopoly and then kick us out once it's gotten hard enough to compete. Perhaps this is a good thing in the long run, because now people will finally have to switch and maybe contribute to improving Firefox. I am hopeful, but also I must say in…
> quality
Yeah, that feature is a must. /s
Saying "quality" doesn't actually mean anything. What exactly is "quality" in this case?

#27Few monthes ago I forced myself to fully drop Chromium. Painful. But I don't have chrome on any laptops (only my smartphone). I don't regret it.
Google is stringing bad news after bad news.

I'll give you an example:
If I place a breakpoint in a DOM mutation listener, I would like to have the same order of DOM events as if I wouldn't have placed it there.

#29An advertising company fielding a major distribution browser always was a really bad idea.
It was a pretty good idea for Google and, judging by the adoption, it serves users very well too.
I think it's up to other browsers to offer better solutions.

#30I switched to FF after Prism was publicized. It's good. Go for it.
