Firefox doesn't have tab groups on mobile
"Firefox doesn't have this one feature I like so I will keep using browser made by an ad company. I'm sure there will be no consequences long term".
"Oh shit. No one could have predicted this!".
Firefox dragged its feet on an extremely useful feature for years.
Are you seriously trying to act like Firefox hasn't been continually shooting themselves in the foot the past decade?
I've been using Firefox for decades without issues. Yes, Chrome was a better browser for a long time but Firefox wasn't that far behind and was absolutely fine browser to use.
Do you really think Mozilla could win browser race with Google, the fucking second biggest company in the world? Of course Chrome had more features, it had basically unlimited resources at it disposal. But yeah, let's blame Mozilla for not winning with them decisively.
YOU are shooting yourself in the foot. You abandoned Firefox for couple of features and soon you will be browsing the web with ads. Come back and tell me how extremely useful Chrome's features are when can you no longer skip Youtube ads.
Hey dumbass, you remember how Mozilla decided to use Google's Play Integrity API for their Android browser?
Mozilla is cooperating in fucking all of us over.
I love it how people respond to a 10 day old comment suddenly....
This just looks like you're trying to promote Chrome by pushing stupid attack on Firefox. Are you being paid for his?
Firefox is already using Google's Play Integrity API. They don't give a shit about us, they're helping Google fuck everyone over.
Yeah, that's not a real issue for me. Is it for you?
You may have a browsing addiction if you need tab groups on mobile, wow...
I swear I hate tabbed browsing, because it leads to people hording tabs like a freaking squirrel hordes nuts.
If you need it for later, book mark it.
If you're done with it close it.
This doesn't work when I have memory issues. That tab is open as part of my external system of memory for myself so I know what I was trying to do before one of my several issues prevented me finishing.
Those are my emotional support '∞ tabs', thank-you very much.
I might need them.
Bookmarks in mobile Firefox is another issue. Bookmark management is a massive chore. I end up keeping tabs around a lot longer in mobile just to avoid messing with it.
On desktop Firefox with the Bookmark Tab Here extension (native functionality I missed from Chrome), bookmarking and organizing a new page is just two clicks. I use that workflow extensively. Apparently I have over 7000 bookmarks all organized that way.
... Whoa... of what, out of morbid curiosity?
It's basically everything of importance or interest to me accumulated over at least a couple decades originally bookmarked in Firefox, migrated to Chrome, then later migrated back to Firefox.
There's work stuff, recipes, tutorials, videos, music, game mods, character builds, resources saved for family and friends, recommendations, billing reminders, etc. I also use it as a more organized YouTube watchlist.
I'm sure I could knock out 75% of my bookmarks without it being a problem, but they're organized well enough that there's little benefit to pruning it all.
I've started using Karakeep for this. If I haven't used a tab in a while but want it to stick around, throw it to Karakeep, let ai tag it, then close that tab.
"People don't use their browsers how I want REEEE!!!!!"
Added to nightly somewhat recently.
It's still not pushed out to phones. I'm going to keep shit talking them until it's actually out, because they've spent far too much time stringing them along
