I really want to use Firefox, but feels a bit odd (lemmy.world)

Don't get me wrong, I like Firefox a lot, but needs polishing.

I like -impopular opinion- the Proton UI (aka rounded tabs), containers are great, but has some flaws:

  • No PWA support
  • Bookmarks and history panels are unpractical (menus for both options are almost unusable)
  • A separate window for downloads, managing bookmarks? Really?
  • Pocket by default?

We need alternatives to Chromium, and Firefox is the "go to" option, but sometimes is disappointing to use it.

Your choice.

  • PWA's aren't really a thing. Linux, we has a nice 'Progressive Webapp' manager - so I can create PWA's with launchers for any website, using any browser. I think I have about 4 (Shopee/Lazada/Translate/PlexWeb).

9/10 times I just open the bookmarks in Firefox...

  • Not sure what your issue is with Bookmarks or History - but they're perfectly usable. Perhaps you're just fixed in your ways.

  • You can turn off Pocket. Even when it's on, it's not a problem - but Firefox has to have some revenue channels and many folks don't have any problem with Pocket. I use RSS, so I don't.
