I will say, it definitely doesn't feel as polished as major browsers. You have to go to a backend "about" page to switch between user profiles. You literally can't set a webpage of your choice to open when you open a new tab (new window, yes, but not new tab, which is even more perplexing). It still has a separate search bar instead of the unified bar other browsers have had for a decade (this can be fixed, though it's hard to find how to do it). But it's easily good enough to switch to if Firefox is gonna enshitify.

Hmm, I guess I got around those issues:

  1. I don't use user profiles but rather the container tabs.
  2. I use an AutoHotkey script that redirects all new windows and tabs to a local note-taking screen.
  3. The omnibar was easy enough to spot in its settings. That sure was a bit of a blast from the past to see, though!
