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.
May not make much sense but that's how I feel.
- dralley 9y agoIt's still going to be the more flexible browser. It already supports webextension APIs that Chrome doesn't, with more on the roadmap. Of course it still pales in comparison to what you could do with XUL, but the point remains. Firefox addons will still be more capable than Chrome ones.
- mwill 9y agoBut the only add-ons I actually use are ad block, tab groups, and lastpass. A half measure doesn't win me anything. 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. Again, I appreciate my use case is niche, I'm not saying Mozilla have made a mistake and should bow to my whims, I'm just saying I was on Chrome for more than half a decade, I switched to Firefox specifically for tab groups. With them seemingly going away, all things being equal I prefer Chrome.
