Mozilla have certainly lost some respect from me over this one!

Yes, I'm switching to Google Chrome. That will show them how much I care about privacy!
Mozilla is no better than Facebook anymore. Different side of same coin.

They're not even interested in moving the web forward instead crying at Google for increasing the capabilities of the web browser instead improving Firefox. Users like chrome. I like chrome. There's no reason to use Firefox except for the ideological one. It's the inferior browser. People expect more from the web, but they (Mozilla) dont want to meet the modern expectations of what a browser should be.

Firefox is a dead horse now.

>There's no reason to use Firefox except for the ideological one.

That’s a pretty emphatic statement. I use Firefox’s Tab containers extensively and haven’t found a good analog in chromium based browsers. Can you recommend an extension or addon that provides this functionality?

The API for this should come up in next few months. Besides cookies/storage/other state mediums can be compartmentalized even now atleast theoretically with an extension.

The colored tab border isn't possible yet in chromium, and there's hope that the API will come up for this.

I have a major reason for using Firefox: Containers. They might be a niche feature but they are beyond essential for me. I'll be using Firefox until someone rips it out of my cold, dead hands.
