No one should be using Chrome, Firefox is the way.

Why not Firefox?

I use Vivaldi which has a bunch of features which are essential to how I use a browser:

  • being able to customise keyboard shortcuts and menus
  • tab stacks and being able to stack tabs by host
  • tab tiling
  • being able to hibernate all background tabs

I do use Firefox for all social media sites so that I can use containers with them, and also means I have a nice split between “work” and play between my browsers. For example, if I need to be productive I can close Firefox without too much concern

Yep… Google is very successful with this shit. They make Chrome the default browser for Android with no extension support so people can’t use adblockers
