Firefox

I like theming , I am already a Firefox user. I think the sad reality is that for more adoptions , in the order of numbers that chrome puts up , Firefox needs to be a default application ; the common users doesn't want to customize anything ( my hot take ).

I don't think it is important that Firefox gets to those numbers as long as they can generate enough revenue to keep going.

Zen browser is Firefox with easy css theming

Also ditch AI.

Honestly, I don't see why CSS theming is important. The customization is nice and all, but that's not going to make people switch to Firefox. There are many other things that could be improved, like adding tab grouping. I use this extension called Tree Style Tab which I cannot live without. Firefox having something like that by default instead of an extension would be nice.

However, having said that, OperaGX did find quite a lot of success by simply making it easy to theme the browser, so I can see where they are coming from.

On my list of things important for the browser I use, CSS theming doesn't even appear.

Anyone who thinks they know what needs to happen for Firefox to regain market share, needs to consider what would happen if someone forks Firefox and makes that happen.

There's no way that CSS theming is it. And in general, "not doing something" isn't going to be it, either.

Only reason I use Chromium is PWAs (Web Apps). Which is why I made an extension that opens links from Chromium in Firefox.

Got Slack running in your work profile on Chromium? Opens links in Firefox work profile.

I should probably release this.

Uh, no, they definitely need tab grouping before they get into making CSS theming easier.

Also don't add advertising crap that is opt-out and only configurable via about:config.

Didn't FF basically solve this with their Firefox Color addon? well, at least from a color them perspective.

And stop doing shady shit

@RmDebArc_5 @firefox I believe they really need better tab organization (without the need for extensions). just basic tab grouping like chrome is a very important feature.

Main thing I want is to override site css. Who cares what the browser itself looks like.

It should also ship with a better default CSS theme.

Agreed. This is the only reason (besides the built-in fake VPN) OperaGX is popular. All browsers have pretty much the same feature set. OperaGX's biggest strength is CSS customization, Firefox's biggest strength is extensions, Edge's is being the Windows default and Chrome's is it's image of "fast and secure browsing".

All Firefox needs to be is a jack of all trades. But still prioritize it's main distinction.

Bad for privacy (potentially)
