I’ve tried switching so many times, most recently yesterday. Every time something just doesnt work or is missing. Yesterday it was stremios web client that refused to show the video that I was simultaneously watching in chrome.
And the fact that Firefox doesnt do tab groups. Such a convenient feature for me, and I couldnt find an extension that did the job. Maybe some of you can help?
teichflamme@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Absolutely agree on the tab groups. I don’t get how this is not implemented yet, it’s a basic feature with great impact to usability.
hcbxzz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Firefox actually had tab groups way back, but Mozilla, in their infinite wisdom, removed it because apparently their main mission is to antagonize all their loyal power users.

This is definitely a feature that needs to be an addon rather than in core Firefox, as it could easily interfere with users who organise tabs in different ways (e.g. Tree tabs)
teichflamme@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Right now there’s no built in options and it could just be deactivated.
Also the add ins I’ve seen still lack chrome’s feature of auto grouping. They just allow me to manually group.
Mojojojo1993@lemmy.world 10 months ago
If you refresh it generally works. I’ve had zero issues with it. Not sure though
Winnem@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
No amount of refreshing or clearing cookies and cache has helped so far. It just says “video not supported” no matter which file I try to play.
Mojojojo1993@lemmy.world 10 months ago
What are you trying to play ? Probably should contact mods. Would be good for them to know. Others will have similar problems.
Do you have add one ? I need to turn off dark mode for some sites as it breaks it. Those are the only issues I’ve had.
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 10 months ago
My Firefox does tab groups. Just find an extension
Winnem@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Which extension are you using?

I wish it was for me, but Chrome is necessary for some work I do.
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Yeah, I get “Google bad”, and agree, and am 100% on the Firefox train, but downvoting people for not using FF is kinda stinky.
the_q@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Such as?
FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I was doing some work on the social security site and the site i needed wouldn’t even load unless it was chrome or edge. There are sadly too many important website that are somehow allowed to gatekeep browsers. I feel like if their site follows guidelines then there’s no reason they should be restricted from browsers, but here we are.
ABCDE@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Platforms I use don’t work reliably with other browsers, online teaching ones to be specific.
lemann@lemmy.one 10 months ago
Ah, that’s a tough one.
I needed to install Ungoogled Chromium to join lectures, because the remote learning site refused to work in Firefox (wouldn’t be surprised if it was developed against a chrome-specific API)

Pretty much every internal Web application I’ve used in banking, insurance and Govt orgs.
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Most of the time the site doesn’t need chrome, it’s just that’s all they test it with, so they say it’s a requirement.
There’s an addon for Firefox called User Agent Switcher that allows you to have Firefox identify itself to websites as chrome, and it often fixes the problem.
Rolando@lemmy.world 10 months ago
So use Chrome for that work, and Firefox plus an adblocker for everything else.
ABCDE@lemmy.world 10 months ago
My adblocker works in Chrome at the moment so will see.
gian@lemmy.grys.it 10 months ago
Have you tried to spoof the user agent ?
ABCDE@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I don’t know what that is
shalafi@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s a neat trick that’s been around for ages. Your browser presents a string of text to the website to identify itself. “Hi! I’m Chrome_ver_whatever.”
You can easily change it, make your browser lie to the website.
Here’s the extension for Chrome and Edge:

I’m sure Firefox has the same.
