Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too (www.theverge.com)

Honestly, I've tried switching but can't find a browser that works as well. I found Kiwi Browser on Android which is still chromium based but at least it's something, but still need to use Chrome from time to time as websites won't work on Kiwi.

Firefox just doesn't perform as well comparatively, lacks features and then as you go down the list of alternatives it gets worse and worse.

So not from lack of trying, but at least for me it is the best browser particularly if you can install enough extensions to remove a lot of garbage.

Not to sound snarky, but what are you missing from Firefox that chrome does?

On PC, Group tabs for me. I find it extremely useful for efficiency. There's nothing equivalent on Firefox even with extensions.

I could just give up on them admittedly but once you get used to something it's hard to change and I fucking hate having too many tabs open.

On Android, the performance was just worse than chromium based browsers. Not sure if it was something wrong with my settings, but I'm talking like at least 1-2 second lag differences in loading a basic Web page. Makes it unusable for me.

Have you tried Simple Tab Groups? It adds a drop-down menu that allows you to create separate environments for different uses. This was one of those things that I also couldn't live without, and somebody turned me onto this extension. It's even Firefox recommended.

Yeah it doesn't do what I want unfortunately. I tried a few extensions but they couldn't replicate it well enough.

Thanks though!
