I hope **chrome **fails terribly. Just like Internet Explorer(IE). Firefox all the way

I just wish Firefox would improve their UI and add a few features without needing to rely on extensions (tab groups, vertical tabs, sharing tabs from mobile to desktop, etc.).

Are we seriously sitting here, in the shadow of the open internet's apocalypse, complaining yet again about Firefox's UI?

It's like Superman trying to rescue you from a fire and you complaining about his breath.

There's no UI in the world that will make the internet bareable without functional ad blockers.

Hey, I switched to Firefox because I liked its UI better (after Quantum though)

I switched back from years with Chrome then new Chromium Edge, haven't noticed an issue. But everything I do is Ctrl+W, middle-click, and typing into search fields. If I'm using a browser's UI, it's for the menu or a bookmark folder.

I can't really fathom what a browser UI is used for beside this and the less there is of one on-screen, the better.

I left it because their "new" UI, but that was just thelast straw (after 20 years) Won't go back.
