These are all UI things you can add with extensions or some modding. Firefox needs forks for that.
Not to speak of actual features like sandboxing on android, user namespace sandboxing on Linux, and more.
Yeah no biggy, just some 7 extensions and some css and you will get somewhat usable experience on Firefox…
And? It’s not hard at all to install extensions.
That is horrible that you have to install a bunch of extensions for basic features, and one of those extensions to fix something that mozilla went out of their way to break on linux and not that they havent add.
And there is also things like syncing the user sessions and settings without an email which brave can do while firefox and forks can’t
edit: And you ignored half of my comment, doing css to get firefox to work IS NOT EASY lmao.
I ignored half your comment because changing the background color with CSS is 100% not important. And no, it’s not horrible that you can extend Firefox to do exactly what you want. What would be horrible is if you couldn’t.
How can I make firefox sync my user session and settings between devices without having to use an email then? Last time I tried to do that with librewolf there was only one extension that did it for the bookmarks and nothing else.
edit: Ignored again, what a surprise. No wonder firefox is such a shitty browsers if its users don’t care about it working.
You’d be amazed what you can do with
userChrome.css.True. This needs better documentation though, and I would highly appreciate to have official templates.
