Firefox needs bookmarkable containers. It is almost there ... Bookmarkable Containers are opening bookmarks in a specific container. And I don't like the hacked extension that implements this feature as a workaround using container sites.
Can't you do this by telling a container to auto open certain URLs?
Switched back last year and even use their services, even one pain one: firefox relay to mask my email

I have had sites that are definitely broken in Firefox even after a stock install with every last toggle/extension/script blocker turned off. It's fairly rare, but there are a slowly growing list of sites that don't behave properly under Firefox but work in Chromium.
I always read that some sites don't work with Firefox but the writers never mentions which sites are broken. So I'm curious, which sites are broken in vanilla FF?

It doesn't ban a blockers outright but does severely hamper them. It severely limits how many filters that can exist within the plugin, and also prevents plugins from updating block lists themselves and forces those updated lists to go through the plugin store. Both of those will seriously hamper a more advanced adblock like UBlock Origin
>It severely limits how many filters that can exist within the plugin The limits are 30,000 static rules and 30,000 dynamic rules. Running tens of thousands of regexs for each request can lead to a performance impact. Allowing for even higher limits may result in people having a worse experience from the browser becoming slower. The API was designed such that these limits can be increased in the future as available c…

And Chrome does this too. They want you to know about new features, and they're easy to dismiss. The only reason Safari doesn't is because they aren't developing it because it's too broken already. So much doesn't work with Safari.

I use Firefox as my main browser. I love Firefox and I want it to succeed. However... a person who uses Firefox as their primary browser must generally still keep Chrome installed. A person who uses Chrome as their primary browser has no need to keep Firefox installed. Firefox should endeavor to fix that. First, Firefox should honor age-old tradition, swallow its pride, and spoof 99% of the Chrome user agent string.…

That's just comically false. Safari is under active development, gets new features all the time, and has a dev blog you can subscribe to over RSS [0]. You may not like Safari, and you're welcome to your opinion about it, but you're not welcome to your own facts. [0] https://webkit.org/blog/

Well, Firefox hasn't nagged me in a long time and you've just installed it, so why not give it a try for a while? > shitty VPN The Mozilla VPN is a rebranded Mullvad VPN, AFIK which I understand is very good. Even if there are a few more nags than Chrome or whatever, I guess, I'm happy knowing that I'm making it a bit harder for Google to know what I'm doing online.
