My main reasons for using Firefox are side tabs and being able to prevent tab reuse when searching or using the address bar. Chrome simply isn't configurable e

  I suspect this is partly why Firefox is losing the battle. By concentrating resources on nice-to-have user functionality rather than implementing core technologies that web developers actually build sites with, we end up with more and more websites that only work in Chrome. Far fewer users care about browser config than "does my internet banking site work?". Firefox probably needs to work on that, even if it means making the browser work with Chrome's non-standard implementations of things, to retain users. I suspect that would be easier than persuading web developers to target more browsers unfortunately.

    Yes, I use Firefox for browsing, but Chrome for developing. I should probably give Firefox's tools another chance, but last time I checked Chrome's dev tools was alot better.
