Yea not sure if anyone on the Firefox team is reading but I have not had any reason to consider Firefox until reading this thread.

If Firefox made their browser the best at ad-blocking instead of performance (which also might go hand in hand) I would consider using it again.



I’m fairly sure they have made their browser the best at ad-blocking already. But due to human nature, negatives like daring to remove some feature with minuscule usage gets heavily upvoted.


Is Firefox worse than Chrome in anyway? Performance seems on par and it has a truly transformative app that iirc is unavailable in chrome: treetabs.


>Is Firefox worse than Chrome in anyway?

IME Firefox is much more of a battery hog on MacOS, Chrome's history page is much better, and some sites (Glassdoor and Google Meet come to mind) don't work properly in Firefox. And I don't really use the developer tools in either but I've generally heard that Chrome's are better. I still use Firefox as my daily driver but it's not flawless.


I don't use Glassdoor, but Google Meet works fine in Firefox, at least as far as I can tell. What issues are you experiencing?

The dev tools in Firefox are better for working with CSS [1], about as good for everything else. I only resort to Chromium when working with PWAs.
