They went from Chromium based, to just Based.
me and mozilla go way back, to the days of netscape navigator. we’re old friends… even through the worst of times (aol ownership), i’ve stood by my best bud.
Lol, not me! I dropped that shit when it was the slowest, most bloated memory hog! Luckily, it’s much improved now, and is easily the best browser out there…
Firebird for me.
I remember back then when people stop using FF because it used more PC resources than the OS itself and all started using Chrome because it was fast and lightweight.
I really want to switch back but… honestly: Chromium Edge, despite a few annoying features being shoved in your face, is actually a really nice browser IMO. It’s definitely going to take some time to get used to FF again.
I’m so used to things like vertical tabs, icon only bookmarks, etc… I know I can change a lot in FF myself, but having to add custom css and whatnot on every device I use FF on is just annoying.
Firefox Sync should keep all your settings and extensions synced for each install
I had custom css in FF and Firefox sync did not sync those manual edits.
There are tons of extensions for tab management for Firefox. If vertkcal tabs is just that they’re arranged in lines instead of columns, I’ve used Tree Style Tab and Sidebery, and there are many others.
Use the sidebery add-on, along with a vertical Firefox CSS theme = problem solved.
Switched last night and damn, Firefox has gotten so much better. Used to be the first browser I manually installed around 2004, until Chrome released around 2008 or something. I love that it has extensions on mobile and bookmark/history sync now.
Yup, uBlock Origin makes the mobile web actually usable!
Oh wow thanks! I didn’t know there were mobile add-ons. (I just didn’t check)
Yeah after they got the sync up and running it’s been so awesome. Welcome to the right side :D
One sneaky thing I love is the ability to put the bookmarks bar to the right of the search bar. Get a little extra real estate that way.
I had my first website tell me today that I can’t access their domain on FF. It was Adobe. Fuck em
Please report the issue at https://webcompat.com/
You’re better off without them, for sure!
Maybe changing the user agent will work
Firefox is King 👑
I love this meme! Haha
Friendship regain?! I cant believe!
Been using Firefox on desktop since it was called Firebird. I’ve jumped to different browsers on mobile, but Firefox on mobile has gotten a lot better since the last time I’ve tried it years ago, so I switched back to it recently.

This is 100% worth repeating. FF Mobile was borderline unusable ten years ago compared to Safari/Chrome mobile
I remember my baseline was youtube back then. If the interface looked terrible, I wasn’t ready to switch. Then it started working as expected and the rest is history.
Librewolf is pretty decent too
you can pry the vivaldi tab management out of my cold dead hands
I’m not sure if the entire functionality can really be replicated, but Firefox does have a pretty good add-on selection, maybe you can find one that suits your needs.
Because this is not the first time I’ve heard about Vivaldi tab management, I looked over a couple videos and it really seems impressive, props to them for doing something really cool in this department. However I know myself, and I’d use maybe half the features that are present, most likely even less. If this is also true for you, I’m almost sure a Firefox add-on could be a suitable replacement:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-manager-plus-for-firefox/
https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/too-many-open-tabs-extensions-to-the-rescue/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/
At the end of the day you obviously don’t need to switch if you don’t want to, I would just be really amazed if it turned out the main tab mgmt features from Vivaldi were never added to an add-on.
What about internet explorer?

I mean the old school IE, yes in case it wasn’t clear this was a joke, if your reply was too I’d like to apologize.
You mean all the trackers and telemetry that can be shut off with O&O Shutup?
It’s a fantastic browser.
Unrelated, would you mind taking a few Facebook personality quizzes and do you have a lot in your bank account?
Nope, wish the second one was true lol
I actually uninstalled Firefox a few months ago on my mobile devices because certain websites for my work were not displaying well now thankfully they have been fixed. Installed the Iceraven fork which is amazing.
I use edge for work and firefox for everything else.
riyal
Should show edge and brave in the corners
