Firefox is the only option for mobile webdev since it's the only mobile browser with devtools. However I won't use it as my main browser because of insanely frequent (and pointless) major ui changes. It messes with your muscle memory. This isn't beta software, is it?

#13How does Total Cookie Protection work with sites that redirect users to authentication providers on other domains ? What about shops that redirect to payment processors that rely on some magic cookie sharing in the background ? What about company.com loading some cookie-dependent content from company-cdn.com ?
In a redirect, the third party site is used as a friest party request, and should not be limited by this.
See same site cookies and referrer policy to limit how much information is leaked to a third party with redirects.

Can't imagine anyone being happier nowadays without tabs.

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
I use Firefox on Android all the time. When I occasionally open Chrome, I see the UI there changes quite often. Now it has tab groups. Maybe a month ago it changed the url bar.
> Now it has tab groups It's hidden behind a right click menu. So it's a muscle memory friendly change. I don't remember the url bar change to be too disorienting either.
It's not really. Now when you right click (long press) to open a link on a new tab it opens it in the same tab group as your tab. If you then use the button at the top to switch tabs (how it worked before), you are now switching tab groups. To switch tabs in your tab group, you have to do it at the bottom.

#17Is Adderall the new Aspirin? Or is there some WFH use here that I'm missing.

Sports immediately comes to mind - Some people I know who are really big into sports like watching/keeping track of multiple games at once.
Me personally, will probably stick to one video playing in the background. It's more for ambient noise. On days when there are 4 nba games going on simutaneously, I'm far too busy fiddling with my spreadsheet/nba feed to be actually watching the game.
