I know it's a rant for which I may get downvoted, but I've grown really tired with Firefox.

It's only my laziness (having to recreate all the setup, find equivalent extensions etc.) that keeps me from switching to another browser.

Crashing tabs, losing pinned tabs, having to restart the browser when I switch to another wi-fi (eg. return home from the office), or otherwise all I'm getting is SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE errors (not a problem for any other browser somehow!)... or even those silly dialogs that inform me "Firefox is already running, just not responding" when I close and try to reopen it, because apparently it lingers in memory, sometimes for like half a minute, when I'm only trying to get stuff done. These little slaps in the face really add up over time.




I think that sometimes, but where else can you run ublock origin and facebook and google containers?


Multi-Account Containers are really the only remaining feature that keeps me from switching to Chrome. Obviously this won't happen in Chrome though :/


Has Chrome stopped signing you in to google browser wide without your permission?

And even if they do, can you trust google that they're not watching everything you browse through a mechanism that privacy extensions cannot affect? For example the malware database.


I don't use a google account inside the browser, so they have nothing to sign me in with.
