There are 2 things I miss from switching to FF:
Right click on a picture -> search google for image
Right click -> Translate page
Everything else seems smooth enough.
- ConsiderCrying 6y agoI sorely miss the ability to make my homepage a layout of the sites I visit daily. On Chrome I had this grid of most frequented sites that I set up myself, fine-tuned so I could launch Chrome and immediately open up any mail, read the news, check some of the blogs I read, etc. On Firefox, I've been using bookmarks but that's not as effective.
- asadotzler 6y agoI could be missing something but in case I'm not. You can enable Top Sites and customize them to your liking by removing ones you don't want and pinning the ones you do.
- ConsiderCrying 6y agoOhh, that's what I was missing. Thank you, this is a huge quality of life improvement.

- jops 6y agoSame sort of issue for me, but I use the Chrome bookmarks toolbar - only shown on new tab. It's the main thing I miss on FF.

- chimen 6y agoAll the translate addons take you to the Google translate variant. It does not help at all especially when buying stuff from websites for example. I prefer the on-spot translation of chrome. The user experience is very bad with these translate addons.
- afiori 6y ago> I prefer the on-spot translation of chrome. Which is the reason I believe Google Translate cannot be used to implement this functionality by third parties. (like how DDG cannot use google's search results)
- williamdclt 6y agoI highly recommend start.me as new tab page. It can be a bit slow to load so I use the singlefile addon to bundle it into a self-contained HTML that I set as my new tab page. Nothing else satisfies me!
- switz 6y agoI really miss being able to search youtube quickly by opening a new tab, typing `you`, and hitting tab to query inline.
- jeroenhd 6y agoYou can do better than that, you can add custom search engines for most search bars on the web, triggered by key words. Just go to Youtube.com, right click the search box and click the "add keyword" menu item. Then choose a keyword you want to use to trigger a Youtube search (I use yt) and confirm. After that you can search Youtube from anywhere by just typing "yt cute kittens" in the address bar and hitting enter.
