I have never found this style of minimap useful and I turn it off in all my apps

#112Every day I hit sites that literally only work in Chrome.. it’s time to fight back :)
Yes. It reminds me of when there were rumours/(facts?) about open source sabotaging of FF. I see a lot of instances where pages worked fine on FF but now they don't, and sometimes I have to fire up another browser. I really hope that's not the case. I use FF by default.
Spoofing your user agent to a chrome one will make most of these sites work. They're just not interested in allowing you privacy.

#113And since it is positioned and looks like the Sublime Text minimap, I instinctively tried to click on it to scroll to part of the page, and was saddened that this does not work. That would be the most logical extension, that feature is really cool in general.
Same. a shame too, because scrollTo seems to be supported in every browser.
IIRC, it's pretty finicky to get it lined up exactly. Maybe less-so with coordinates rather than elements.

#114Firefox has always been the browser that supports the cool stuff. I remember messing around with auto-enabling dark mode for my websites based on the reading of the ambient light sensor of my MacBook. Of course now our OSes decide when an app or website should use dark mode.
I wish more sites exposed all of their themes as different stylesheets. I remember learning about the 'View>Page Style' option before darkmode was even a trend, and was unsurprised it was built into the browser.
