now i use Arc though which has been amazing. i don’t think i can ever go back to horizontal tabs. i love Firefox so much, its just missing a good implementation of this one feature that i can’t live without! there are some extensions but it’s not even close to the native implementation of it on edge and arc browser especially
I couldn’t find the setting “don’t give websites the permission to play sound” (mutes all audio unless enabled per-site) in Edge, or Firefox. Chrome has that setting.
Not the same thing, audio will still start playing after user interaction with the site. The setting in Chrome blocks all audio from the site, regardless of what you do.
My work emails all run through the google suite of applications and I have two of them plus drive etc so having chrome allows me to have multiple profiles for each work account and they are remote managed by the company.
This does not keep my bookmarks and passwords synced across all the work devices I have to use does it?
I regularly log into 2 work email accounts and have a third that I check monthly. I do this across 5 work devices which are shared, my personal MacBook Air which is used primarily for work and my phone.
If Firefox has sync features that work with cloud storage as opposed to device storage it would be practical otherwise it’s no go
If you use browser to store passwords that’s a huge security risk. You’re better off using a password manager to manage and sync your password.
Having synced bookmarks is fair though. I use 2 devices for work but I didn’t keep synced bookmarks. I usually have the most used tabs pinned so it keeps standby and I keep the important links for each project pinned inside the project Slack channel.
Can I kill efficiency mode and get Chrome working again?
using chrome in 2017 was embarrassing. using chrome in 2023 is just sad.
Why use chrome when edge is just better
Or, use Firefox 😈
Or Floorp for an even better experience
I love derivate-browsers; using vivaldi (based on chrome).
As much of the site seems japanese and I don’t want to dig deep this morning: can you please give me 2-3 reasons what makes floorp so good?
I used to love Opera back in the day, but now there just doesn’t seem like much of a point when Opera and Vivaldi are just Chromium forks.
(Vivaldi is the successor to the old Opera.)
Pre-installed tools such as a translator and tab bar on the left
More pre-installed themes and integration with Mica For Everyone (haven’t tested this because I ain’t booting to W🤢ndows)
Tighter on privacy than default Firefox
There are some others I may have missed because I got used to them
Thanks.
What’s the benefits of Floorp over base Firefox?
Maybe he prefers to hand over his data to Google rather than Microsoft.
How can I hand it over to both!
Well that’s a sentence I never expected to hear
I hate Edge less than I hate Chrome now, I feel dirty saying it tho.
the vertical tabs <3

Firefox:
Tools/Settings/Privacy & Security/Permissions/Autoplay/Settings/Default for all Websites: Block Audio
Not the same thing, audio will still start playing after user interaction with the site. The setting in Chrome blocks all audio from the site, regardless of what you do.
Mute Firefox in the Windows equalizer?
But I still want to allow sound on a small number of select sites like YouTube or Twitch. It just needs to be off for the other 99% of the web.

Use Firefox with Container Tabs. It uses separate session for each container
Container tabs is FF greatest feature
