> I'm stuck running an old version of Firefox because I have too much data in Tab Groups
Yikes! You're running a years-old version of Firefox without security updates? And you're browsing public websites?
I think there are some supported add-ons for tab groups that work with current Firefox. Please, please don't run an insecure browser on the public internet.
There are no working tab group addons post XUL, I've tried them all and they are all completely broken. While I agree that you shouldn't run without updates, please don't tell people that there is a working substitute for this functionality.
Before posting that comment, I searched not only for such addons but for the last updates to those addons and for reviews of those addons, which seemed to suggest that they work as Web Extensions and function as at least some people want. That said, I can't vouch for them personally, and I appreciate you providing some firsthand experience.
> Posts that assume everyone considers certain changes to Firefox "anti-features" aren't going to win everyone over, either.
This seems like a bad faith characterisation. The discussion was about ars's activities, and I think it is reasonable to assume silversconfused was guessing at ars's opinions on these changes, not at "everyone's" opinions.
