To the people, is Firefox still the go to browser? Is there something better out there for the average person? I've heard good things about internet explorer.

Unless you're using android where on tablets it still doesn't support multi tab browsing but is an overblown phone app.

doesn't support multi tab browsing

What do you mean? Having multiple tabs open at once?

I think they're comparing chrome's user interface which, on a tablet, switches to a more desktop like interface with the tab bar instead of the tab counter. It is something I wish firefox would also implement but not a deal breaker.

*cough cough*

It's been in Firefox nightly for a few months.

Yes bit not yet released and has been in backlog for 2 years, not great for a mainstream browser.

They do have a tab bar now, though it's recent.

[-] hellequin67@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

No, i mean like a tab bar like every other android browser and desktop.

Maybe grouped tabs? I am also curious what they mean.

What version are you using? Firefox Beta for Android supports multi-tabs on both tablet and phone.

You got me there, it is really frustrating that I have to open Edge if I want to have two tabs open at the same time.
