It's not bad, definitely a bit faster than firefox but that's the nature of the beast for the web these days. I also like having my tabs on the side rather than the top. I think you can do that with Firefox via an extension, I'll have to play around. But I much prefer using Firefox in my daily life permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (3 children) Vertical tabs is a built in function of FF.

I'm not sure how they built it, but even after you disable the whitelists for their paying partners, it misses things Brave and uBO on Firefox don't. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] T156@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (2 children) Vivaldi still supports Manifest V2, doesn't it?
