I might have to try that. Looks like you still have the tabs at the top of the window too, not sure I'd like the visual clutter.
Not very user-friendly, but you can disable the horizontal tabs by editing userChrome.css in your profile directory: https://superuser.com/questions/1261660/firefox-quantum-ver-... .

Laying all the trans at one cripples my core i8 system for some time. Firefox's lazy tab loading is a much better user experience. Together with TreeStyle Tabs and the recent multi-container add-on, Firefox is just a better experience.
I used to be a fanatic about tree style tabs, but due to the new api, it's unusable with containers. I recently switched over to vertical tabs for that reason. I miss the tree layout, but at least now my tabs maintain their ordering.
Another reason to be glad that Firefox is still standing.
I find it rather odd that Googling "uBlock Origin" from Firefox does not return links to addons.mozilla.org - at all. The top result is of course the Chrome addon. The third result is the website for "uBlock" which is the unmaintained fork. Three pages in and you're getting dubious-looking repackaging sites, but no official addon. How on Earth does "Comorbidities Associated with Plaque Psoriasis | Dermatology Times"…
1. Chrome web store
2. ublock.org
3. Microsoft store
4. Wikipedia
5. Mozilla addon, and finally
6. Gorhill's github for ublock origin.
Can we finally say that DDG is better for some searches than Google?

People who feel that they have “nothing to hide” don’t quite understand the extent to which they’re being mined for personal data. Google offers all of this amazingly polished software for free so naive people like you will feed them your browsing history, email, location and search queries. They will then monetize that data by targeting ads to you, which generates over 80% of their revenue. If you are ok with that a…
> ask yourself if you’d be ok with [your browsing history, email, location and search queries] ever being exposed publicly.

For a lot of people they possibly hold that view due to a lack of understanding about the situation, but some people like you understand the situation and still are OK with it. That's an entirely reasonable point of view which should be eagerly debated with.
The design doc — the part quoted in the note linked here even — explicitly notes that it will probably be required to retain some degree of the existing functionality slated for eventually removal until the new API and other replacements cover all use cases; the response linked here appears to (not improperly, in the context of making a case for why much of the functionality is needed) ignoring that and treating the…
The design document says "potentially removing blocking options from most events". There is one mention that the blocking ability of webRequest.onAuthRequired may still be required.
From this I deduce that the plan is to remove the blocking ability of the three remaining listeners with blocking ability
uBlock Origin uses two of these remaining blocking listeners, uMatrix uses three of them.

I really just don't understand the obsession with Chrome, especially in hacker communities. Sorry Google, I feel "icky & gross" when I use you.

Firefox just doesn’t have enough advantages yet that would convince someone comfortable with Chrome to switch over. While privacy is an ever growing concern, it isn’t a strong enough feature for most people.
What are the advantages of Chrome over Firefox?
Chrome extensions have access to the 'debugger' API.
Debugger API provides access to remote debugging protocol.
Remote debugging protocol provides commands to intercept, filter and block requests.
Please see: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/ and specifically the "Network" domain.
"Hi folks! Can we please move this discussion to somewhere it's not as noticeable? K thx bye!" doesn't address anything Sounds like Google devs to me!
