Edit: I exaggerated, of course. Below this are some downsides that individuals have experienced. But personally, my experience using Firefox on desktop for Mac has been all upside. If everybody who can just tries it out, you might be surprised at how friction-free the change is.
Agreed, and it seems like Firefox has recently made an effort to accommodate the extension more, as it seems to run even better than it used to and is now a recommended extension
You haven’t tried Vivaldi then. It has the best tab management features of any browser by leaps and bounds, it saddens me they chose Chromium over Gecko given that manifest v3 is coming.
Oh hell yeah… Thank you friend. I immediately downloaded it, and it took me all of 30 seconds to realize this is it
This is what I’ve been looking for, for years now. I even took a crack at it myself several years ago, but then I realized it wasn’t possible without doing an extension (rather than a plug-in) if I wanted to do it right
You have mitigated one of most inconvenient recurring problems in my life. I’m working on a lemmy app right now, and I’m so grateful I’m going to move up the “mark user as friend” feature.
How would you like me to guild your username so I might recognize you in the future? Lit up border? Tiny crown on your avatar? A little lemmy gold symbol next to the score? I’m open to suggestion
It gives me anxiety, it’s way too overcrowded and cluttered. I use Tree Style Tab. It does one thing, it does it well, it doesn’t overcomplicate it, it works with me.
I will say it took me some time to get used to it, but it also is a lot easier to use than it used to, they made a lot of things better in the last update
I think it’s one of those things that you have to sit down and test out and really figure out. Tree style tabs are also good though. I definitely think it’s where sideberry got their inspiration
There’s like… no downside: all upside.

Not strictly true. Firefox gets inferior support from cloud services, like Microsoft. Newer versions of their Web apps are not available on Firefox.
But there should be no downside. It’s all artificial.
The big services purposely degrade their sites when users connect with Firefox. It’s well documented.
Unfortunately nothing is being done about it so far.
One thing I miss in Firefox is tab grouping. Yes there are 3rd party extensions that do that. But Chromium based browsers support that natively.
Sideberry is leaps and bounds better at it imo tho
Yeah, this extension is crazy good. It works as if it was native.

I don’t like that Vivaldi can’t have multiple levels of grouping like you can in sideberry or tree style tabs
I guess that’s the one feature Sideberry has over Vivaldi, but I’ve never missed it if I’m being honest. To each their own.

No, in my experience especially the Android version of Firefox is less smooth when playing animations or scrolling on older or lower end devices.
I really hope with the new Focus on Firefox mobile, that they will iron that out.
Use Fennec instead, no issues on Android
I have to use Chrome for…
Logging into PSN, since something in Firefox hard locks when I try it. I think it’s to do with Firefox’s password manager.
VR porn.
Some videos. Firefox doesn’t support certain video types (namely HEVC/H.265) due to patent issues.
Why wont VR porn work anywhere else?
Firefox doesn’t appear to support it. Chrome does.
At least on this site.
I think it’s to do with WebXR support, but I’m not digging through 10 layers of bullshit JS to find out for certain.
Fair enough :)
Hm, I tried the site and the lady was getting rammed for me in Firefox 123 in Windows.
