These days, it's much more common for me to encounter a website that works in firefox but not chrome than the other way around. I actually switched for good when I had to use firefox to file my taxes, because the IRS free self-file site was hopelessly broken on chrome.
One of the things that I like about Firefox is that it lets you right click on websites that disable right clicking by holding down shift. Reminds you that the browser should be the user's agent and not the website's.
Heh. Sync works on chrome too. IMO tree style tabs was the best thing firefox had and they killed it.
Tree style tabs works as well as it did before, except that it's more difficult to get rid of the top tabs.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can selfhost the sync server
How is this working nowadays? A few years back it wasn't exactly easy to self host. Ideally there would be a docker image and a docker compose config.
Possibly my fault and I need to poke at it a little more but in general I can start a docker container just fine so I feel like its maybe not quite there yet.
I have tried firefox, Vivaldi. But in terms of speed, when different sites load chrome fares better than them. I'm back to using chrome. I like customisation feature of Vivaldi but it lags in terms of speed. I still use Vivaldi on case basis (to read some sites' articles which have by default ads enabled)
And next year you'll only be able to do that in Firefox.
This means that any user trying to do any data work with my GIS software will regularly get wrong outputs if they use Firefox.
Yes, it just works; but a few days back all my devices suddenly lost almost all of the passwords. Not all but most of them, couldn't make out any pattern or reason. Luckily a Linux laptop that I don't usually use had the full set and I had to export them, sync, and import them back to restore everywhere. Very scary, any ideas why this could've happened? I immediately backed up for the future, but this kind of loss sh…

Firefox has grown on me since Google's war on ad blockers made me feel like it's "their" browser not mine. (Which is true ofc. But still.)
tab containers are a huge bonus once you start using them that makes it very hard to look at other browsers again.
