I think the new Firefox design philosophy is marketing and buzzword. Because that's what that useless video and that blog post, which was devoid of easily accessible information, suggests.

Besides, Pocket in Firefox is personal now! I am going to ignore this browser until they totally remove it (like completely; not bundled in any shape or form) and only allow it as a normal third party extension.

Besides, it fares awful on Macs and besides many OS level integrations that even Chrome and Brave do.

I am done using second grade softwares whether it's FOSS or whatever. It's 2021 ffs, and they literally had decades to get their shit together.

Been using Firefox on macOS for at least a couple years now. It has been making massive advances, fixing bugs and getting much better integration.

Smart zoom and "elastic scrolling" (or however that's called) are implemented now and work great to add usability and make it feel more at home. Battery life seems great, performance in general is at least on par with Chrome (except for Google apps, but even for those I still find it good enough).

Care to say which things still bother you with current Firefox beta (the one mentioned in the article)?
