I’ve kinda browser wrapper thing with a chrome based browser for few google apps, like Keep, Gmail and Calendar on Windows.
I use Firefox sort of begrudgingly. It's marginally less bad than the other options, but it's still an awful browser. I vehemently disagree with almost all of its design decisions, and with every new release they seem to stray even farther from sane UX. It has hamburger menus on desktop and a lot of weird space-saving design that makes no sense on a modern high resolution display. Buttons are small, have cryptic flat…
As a long time FF user my opinion of it took quite a hit recently. I wanted to hack together a small personal extension, likely outside the scope of what Tampermonkey can do easily. I was really shocked by the mandatory signature enforcement. You need to get your extension signed by Mozilla with no way to disable it in the standard FF, the about:config setting does nothing (see [1]). Your temporary extension will als…
I've been using it on desktop for a while, but on Android it's pretty rough, at least with the address bar on the bottom. I think there's a bug with touch locations being mapped to the correct place on a website.
I can't fathom why you prefer it at the top, but it's in Settings > Customise.

It does. “I don’t want telemetry” and “I don’t want tracking” are two overlapping sets of people. Whether or not you care about the distinction, others do.
It doesn't. You're replying to marginalia_nu, who has just clarified their position after you made a point. You're not replying to all those hypothetical people who haven't made a peep.

They removed RSS, removed compact mode, removed bookmark descriptions... I'm scared that at their current pace by 2030 they'll remove the last remaining feature and it will disappear.
Sometimes I wonder if Mitchell Baker and the product team are paid by Google to destroy their own browser.

I love tree style tabs and I really want to encourage people to set it up and really customize their user stylesheet to make the best use of it. I have removed all traces of the original tab bar at the top and the three primary window buttons (close, restore, minimize) giving me back lots of that precious vertical space. Their GitHub has a ton of CSS snippets to help you with customization. I'd also be happy to share…

Holy crap thank you! I have to log into multiple Microsoft365 tenants and it drove me crazy with the amount of signing OUT I needed to do when switching accounts, to the point where my crappy workaround was to use different browsers for each account (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Brave, etc) but I started to run out of different browsers. This multi-account container extension is a godsend
Chrome supports multiple user profiles. I assume Edge and Brave do too.
For instance, I can't have Youtube Music playing something on one profile while doing a Google Meet on another profile in a different tab (has to be the other profile window). In Firefox it's site-based (and tab-based) but Chrome locks down on any Google site.
Finally it's actually really hard to undo multi-profile in Chrome once you switch to it, I had to throw out all my Chrome profiles to get back to the old, preferred behavior.
* I cannot automatically clean cookies when I close it * I even have to close tabs manually
