Thanks for the reminder. I've switched to Firefox on my mac and iphone for personal use. I just need to move some web development stuff around so I can switch to Firefox on that too. I may even uninstall google chrome, but for now I've just taken it off the task bar.

Correct me if I am wrong but arent Apple based browsers all modifications of WebKit/Safari?
Or is it a iOS/iPad OS specific thing and MacOS is actually free from those restrictions by being able to sideload.

[-] quentangle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

That's exclusive to iOS/iPad OS. There aren't any such restrictions on macOS.

The one feature that I really liked that's still in chromium other than Google cast is still Web Apps.

I like to be able to make a desktop application out of a web page. Firefox has this feature with PRISM a while back. Did it ever come back?

While I agree on this, I think Ungoogled Chromium could be a soft way to degoogle yourself while maybe looking for complete replacements. It took me almost 2 weeks to degoogle me almost totally, at the beginning having a minimum of compatibility is nice

Or just use Firefox...?

I have switched to Firefox but I'm having a hard time. Firefox feels sluggish compared to Chrome and uses an insane amount of memory. And I really miss tab groups as Chrome had them. There are some add-ons for Firefox that try to imitate this feature but none of them has everything I want (e.g. the ability to collapse a group in the top tab bar). And most of them build on top of Firefox tab groups which come with an isolation feature I don't want (and haven't found a way to disable for tab groups).

Firefox main since 2020. Love it.

Ok so I really wanna switch, but I need to have multiple Gmail accounts active at the same time for work, as we have various logins tied to various profiles. From what I can tell Firefox doesn't yet support multiple profiles being active at the same time. Do I have any options here? I need to be able to access the support inbox and login to our platform, while simultaneously being logged in to my own email and my platform login. Chrome profiles makes this easy, annoyingly.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

you can do this within gmail and also using the multi account containers in firefox

[-] Dezzorian@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yes you can. With Firefox containers.

[-] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Not only do I do that, I have also created separate desktop icons for each Firefox profile
