I’m back to Firefox after many years, it’s quite good and I don’t miss anything from Chrome other than one click translate page button. Also looks like FF has caught up Chrome performance-wise. It’s fast, it respects your privacy, very nice!

I've been using Firefox as my daily driver for perhaps a year or more now.

As well as the translate page button, the other great feature chrome has that I miss dearly is the highlights chrome has in the scrollbar when doing a ctrl-f find-in-page. That is super-useful and a real pain in the arse that Firefox does not support it.

I played around with prototyping an extension to replicate it (or as close as I could get) but it was hard to nicely override the ctrl-f hooks.

FYI, you can press the enter button to go to the next highlighted word in Find-in page.

Yeah, but it's nice to be able to identify high densities of matches at a glance.

Yep - I will often just scroll down to the "densist" area. Keyboard shortcuts are not the problem.

It actually feels faster than Chrome to me. I've been primarily on Firefox for the past few months and was really surprised to find Chrome not feeling as responsive when I tried to use it recently.

I've been using both FF and webkit based browsers for probably 10 years and I keep seeing this statements but they don't make sense to me.

When was firefox actually significantly slower? That is x2 slower or worse.

Just search for Google Translate in add-ons. You'll find some that provide you with that behaviour on right-click.

Same here, faster. Especially on mobile. Part of that had to be the built in ad blockers.
