With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    If only Firefox’s management had its head screwed on better. I really don’t care about Turning Red themes, I have a KDE theme just to keep it matching my desktop. Just make the core browsing experience better. Hell, take some features from Vivaldi. I’ve noticed a good portion of Vivaldi users back when I used Reddit were former Firefox users, and I can understand why.

      I’d love them to make the UI similar to what it was in 3.* times. Just something intended for humans who use the browser and not managers who do presentations.

        Part of why I’ve moved to Vivaldi tbh. It feels like Vivaldi is where Firefox should be at right now (besides the Chromium core).

            It’s unfortunate, but not much they can do. They have talked about a possible move to Gecko if retaining MV2 should be a priority, but it’s not like they can do it in one day and all.

          Vivaldi sucks for development imo, I would love to have tiled tabs and tab groups in Firefox though, there are some addons, but they are not that good.

        I think you might looking at the 3.x series with nostalgia goggles tbh. I’ve used Firefox since 1.0 and while 3.x design is functional, it looks way too dated. I much prefer the new design with tabs up top.

          I’ve used Palemoon, in this sense it’s convenient. Just the maintainers are a-holes, and also performance is not good, and compatibility too, so not anymore.

          Of course, Opera 9 is the pinnacle of browser UI design, nobody can argue with that, though I agree to give Netscape\Mozilla\Seamonkey the second place.

      I want the ability to sideload addons (not just collections) and adjust theming (e.g., for true black mode) on Android. Major omissions IMO.

        Isn’t it because they’re working out the kinks with the extension system on Android? They’ve been slowly opening up and adding more and more extensions to the list. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was eventually possible.
