I moved back to Firefox for 80% of my browsing back in 2018 or whenever Quantum update was released.

At this point it's only idealism that keeps me there. Tiny things just don't work well. And it is so endlessly frustrating.

- I want the bookmark bar only to be shown in the new page tab. This does exist, but accidentally hitting _cmd+b_ resets it.

- The new-tab page is awful. It's trying to be clever when it really shouldn't be. So I have it all switched off.

- The container idea is nice, but so damn unusable in practice.

- I use Kagi as my search engine, but can't set the tokenised search URL so it works in private mode.

- The Settings are just so clunky. I wince every time I change something.

- When typing something in the omnibox, the suggestions are at the very bottom of the list. So far away, that I might as well not have them.

At least the dev tools are nice.
