Do any other browsers exist?
Because I never particularly liked the alternatives.
because i’m a furry
Because I started using it when it still was called mozilla and never got a reason to switch.
It’s the only other option
When someone built a form that for some reasons doesn’t work with Safari. Or when watching streaming sites with pop ups (FF full screen is really nice in the recent update).
I’d use it more, but I rely on iCloud password management built into safari across my family’s devices and handoff/tab groups to manage tabs across them.
Firefox supports a font technology for less common scripts, Graphite, that the for-profit-corporate browsers do not. I use one of those scripts once in a great while. So I’m locked in until OpenType has better support.
A couple reasons:
- I really like having my tabs on the side, it just plays well with my vimium workflow
- This largely narrows it down to Firefox, Vivaldi, Edge, Arc
- I like open source
- Only Firefox remains
How do you put your tabs on the side? That sounds amazing.
It’s a bit more complex on Firefox than the others I mentioned
- There are a few possible extensions to add the sidebar tabs. This one is the one I use.
- You need to edit the userChrome.css to remove the og tab bar. The top response here is quite helpful.
- You want to enable the native title bar, as removing the original tab bar removes the window controls as well. The pictures in this guide are a bit outdated, but the instructions still work
Awesome. Thank you!!!

Privacy, real ad-blocking, and fighting for the open web. Also, actually being free software.
Tree style tabs. Can’t live without it anymore
Is this an extension? I found multiple ones. Which one are you using?
https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/ This is the one I use. I don’t know if this works on linux, I didn’t look at the community when I posted originally my apologies.
Addons should not be dependent on your OS, unless there’s some third party program that comes with them that is exclusive to it (like KDE Connect).
Ad blockers actually work with it and youtube links don’t get auto forwarded to the shitty app.
Because it’s better.
Because it’s open source.
Because it’s not based on Chromium and competition is good.
And also because TabStash.
I was shown it by a mate, along with soulseek, in like, 2006 or so when in sixth form. It was way better than what I was using at the time (IE)
At least that’s what I remember, pretty sure that was the date. I remember soulseek was before by a bit actually as we used it for trading At the Drive In and Mars Volta tracks
I’ve carried on using it because of plugins, adblocks, privacy, etc.
Lack of alternatives…
Because it’s not controlled by the same company that also controls my smartphone OS, my internet search engine, the videos I watch …
And it works pretty alright.
