I like firefox, and use it a lot at work as generally my main browser with DDG as the , but I end up going back to chrome quite a bit
Things that bug me
- For some reason often when I have quite a few tabs, open link in new tab stops working, the tab appears then disappears instantly, oddly if I use Vimium to open the tab in a new link it works. Mostly I use Vimium so this is not too much of a problem
- Copy pasting of formatted html is worse than Chrome.
- Confluence runs like a pig on Firefox for some reason, completely unusable on some pages, not strictly a FF problem, but is problematic.
- Just something about the aesthetics that is somehow "off"
On the positive
- I like the developer tools
- "Column select" out of the box just works
- scrolling tab bar instead of teeny tiny tabs where you can't see anything is good
- I feel better that I'm hopefully leaking less data, not that I can really verify that, but I generally believe I should be better protected than if I was using chrome
Overall, while there is cool things about FF, I feel I'm using it not because its the better browser, but some vauge idea I'm helping browser diversity.
- chalst 8y agoFirefox Containers really do allow you to limit the amount that data leaks. https://medium.com/firefox-test-pilot/firefox-containers-are-go-ed2e3533b6e3 https://medium.com/firefox-test-pilot/firefox-containers-are...
- TheArcane 8y agoDon't forget the absolutely terrible translation add-ons on Firefox
- executesorder66 8y agoI have at least 30 tabs open at a time on some confluence page. None of them ever gave me any issues. So I think that's specific to you.
