I'm curious if anybody else ran into it or it's just my setup.

What if they don't and I spent time micromanging my computer for nothing?
Then you would have only spent an hour over the year for the security of not possibly losing your livelihood.

Tree Style Tabs solved the tab grouping problem for me. I like to put it on the right and I'm looking for a way to have the tab bar hidden. Tab search exists: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-open-tabs-firefo... , also you type % into the address bar to start searching over tabs. Not sure if this covers your needs, though.
also check out "sidebery" as a modern alternative that does a bit more
And Tree Tabs felt like a better Tree Style Tabs (but there were no bugfixes in past 4 years).
Though very rarely Sideberry looses/forgets the tree structure of tabs, and I have to restore it from one of the recent snapshots (which it creates every day automatically).
Along with obvious ones like uBlock Origin working perfectly, etc., I have 2 other favorites: - Native reader mode - Native PiP mode for videos Yes, you can get extensions for this in Chrom(e/ium) but having these as a native feature is really nice. Things I want to see in Firefox: - Good/extensible keybindings - Tab groups - Tab search EDIT: How do I break sentences to newline in HN without really making a new parag…

Is there really a killer feature of Chrome that justifies its use over FF? I've been using Firefox and have never been disappointed with it. I always just assumed that if you wanted privacy, it's better to use Firefox over Chrome, Safari, or Brave.

This comes up every time and I have to point out that Apple provides Linux builds of WebKit. => https://WebKit.org/downloads They’re not marketed as “Safari” because Safari is part of macOS, but it’s an official build of the same rendering engine.
There's also WinCairo for Windows. https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows But unfortunately they don't provide binaries, so you have to build from source.
I've switched from Firefox to Safari for most of my browsing, and Chrome for anything that needs devtools. Why? Battery. Efficiency. On the new M1 Macbooks I can run Safari and be unplugged all day long. The increased power consumption and battery drain is noticeable when using FF and I can't make it all the way through the day. As far as extensions go, I have 1Blocker and it works well, it does block YouTube ads. Th…
I tried safari, but the lack of extensions is a major turn off. How do you browse the web without uBlock Origin or “I don’t care about cookies”?
I started using a text-only browser for recreational web use (not lynx) and can never go back to a graphical one. The popular graphical browsers keep growing in size and complexity but I am still doing the same basic tasks on the web, i.e., retrieving files and consuming them. For these basic tasks, the so-called "modern" browsers are overkill. Chrome is something like 150MB with dynamic libraries. The text-only brow…
... so which one is it, if not Lynx? Links, elinks, links2, netrik, w3m, ..?

TST is literally the killer feature for FF. It's actually the only reason I went to FF, it was getting out of hand to have all my tabs across the top, and it makes little sense with modern screens being so wide that giving up a little horizontal space to get legible titles is absolutely worth it. Someone in Chrome/Edge/Safari must be thinking about doing this, I don't know why it hasn't been cloned. Can't be too hard…
> I don't know why it hasn't been cloned it's a elitist feature. pretty sure that most ppl on the internet don't know what a tab is. opera had vertical, grouped tabs over twenty years ago.
