I'm not at the whims of an add-on developer, I'm at the whims of Mozilla. The new extension API doesn't currently have the control required to make Tab Groups, if it did I would port it myself. I won't go in to my usage specifically but windows tabs and bookmarks doesn't work nearly as well as tab groups for me personally. That's how I did it for years before switching to Firefox, and its painful for my workflow. I used Chrome(ium) for years before tab groups got me to switch to FF, if you take away tab groups, I'd rather just go back to it, if for no other reason that principle. Mozilla won me over by having the more flexible browser, that flexibility is going away, I have no loyalty to them beyond that, honestly.

"That's how we've always done it". AKA the most dangerous phrase in the language.

  I posted this in another reply chain but: I still use Chrome on my phone, so I get tab sync back by switching, which I gave up to gain tab groups. I buy in to Google's ecosystem with a personal account and 2 business accounts. The slight integration is nice. I also generally prefer Chromes UI. So Chrome has at least 3 points in its favor, Firefox has Tab Groups, which are going away, and the idea that Mozilla is sort of more benevolent than Google, which doesn't really move me. I know Firefox has more to offer others but thats how it shakes out for me.
