Just use Firefox. It’s better as a browser, anyway.
I switched back to ff in 2018 but then switched back to chrome after it deleted my bookmarks sporadically for the 5th time. I’ve logged bugs about it too.
Cool story
I will when they finally fix dragging tabs between windows
Edit: I’m not saying the operation isn’t functional, I’m saying it lacks certain small visual feedback aspects like popping a tab out into a new window while dragging. This in and of itself isn’t breaking, but Firefox had a lot of rough edges like that every time I used it, and I’m using this specific one as a benchmark to judge if I should give the browser a shot again

To some extend, yes. But convenience and workflow trumps both.for example, I moved to DuckDuckGo a while back. Not because of privacy, but because Google kept removing customisation options, and it’s search results where getting worse and worse.
You seem more stubborn than smart.
I resemble this statement!
It does give a weird form of comfort to see Lemmy become more like Reddit every day
I mean, no ads on youtube is HELLA more convenient than ads on youtube
I agree
I’m using chrome, sponsorblock and adblock+. Google hasn’t told me to turn it off yet.
Maybe it’s because I’m in the EU?
If it starts becoming a problem, I intend to look into writing a pull request to fix the firefox UX issues
Fair enough! In that case I also wouldn’t be pressured to jump ship, in fact the only reason I jumped back to firefox in the first place was because chrome couldnt handle the amount of tabs I had and they started crashing
Huh, what is the issue? Been working fine for me for years.
Classic layer 8 problem
PEBCAK baby!
Popping out a tab doesn’t turn it into a draggable window, but just into cursor basic cursor held object. This gives no visual feedback on what is actually happening and makes the whole operation much less visually clear
It’s a small thing, but in the times I tried Firefox, I noticed a lot of these rough edges to the point that it became frustrating to use. I’m using this specific one as a benchmark for when I’m willing to give it a shot again
Fuck’s sake, what a stupid thing to get hung up over.
You’re all getting quite hung up about someone voicing that they’re not ready to switch to your preferred browser tbh
Like, it’s not that you are negatively affected by me having UX preferences

You’ll get more flies with honey than vinegar.
Foss advocates showing once again how bad they are at persuading people.

Correct. That is why I am not switching
Besides, the EU is shown time and time again that it will protect its citizens if the megacorps overstep their boundaries, so the claim that chrome holds too much power is bs
Could you find a smaller potato?
Is that a typo, or a saying I’m not familiar with?
It’s a small potatoes means that’s it’s extremely inexpensive and misses the big bag of perfectly good, if not above average potatoes
Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
It never bothered me. You can just stop dragging anywhere and it will turn into a window.
I’d rather have messy Mac and cheese than pretty pile of shit please.
Strangely nit-picky. The reason this matters to you is because you are used to it. It’s so small an aspect of the browser though that you would forget about it quickly. Imo of course. I never even noticed this when I changed and I use the function many times a day.
Correct, it matters to me
So, as long as Firefox doesn’t really offer something that in my opinion outways all it’s UX issues, I am not inclined to switch
Looking at my score, appearantly that is offensive though
Apparently lol, can’t be different!
Try Floorp?
I do that all the time with ff?
