Orion is neat but you're going to loose a lot of extension support.

Librewolf on the other hand is 99% Firefox, for the better (extension) and for the worst (clunkiness).

I've been down this road, honestly just stick with Firefox and disable the relevant setting. It's not worth the time.

Tbh. I don't get the negatives about Firefox. I have to use Chrome for App development and have been using it a little more in the last months. I cannot see why I should prefer it over Firefox. It works well, has (or soon used to have) good extension support and is smooth, but so is Firefox. Like, I could not say one single thing that I prefer in Chrome.

And all this while I have to ignore the single biggest negative about Chrome - that it's "run" by Google.

Personally it's more about the user interface. Searching history for instance is a mess on Firefox, you got it in collection tab and in history menu. Then if you click on yesterday, it won't sort by the hour at which I browsed it yesterday but at the most recent date so that the sort order is messed up with the stuff you browsed today, and so on, and so on.

You say you're a developer. I had to tweak my company website myself, not knowing anything about css, html, JavaScript, chrome developer tools were intuitive enough.

Firefox developer tools? even years later, now than I understand well website development, I often still can't figure out how to do stuff.

Oh that’s weird! I have been using Firefox dev tools a lot, also for a lot of development, and it worked perfectly, and to me it made perfect sense! But maybe it would have been even easier on Chrome, haha

[aucisson_masque]

Maybe it depends what you are most used to. But personally I started completely fresh, tried both and chrome was more intuitive. At least as much as a développer tool can be to a non développer

Google Meet, Slack Web, for example, are notirious for being Firefox-hostile. Though I manage fine with User-Agent

Google meet on FF used to be almost a no-op but for the past year or so it has operated without any real issue. Screen sharing is sometimes off when iterating windows but that is pretty minor. (on Windows anyway)

[ddfs123]

I got some message like "XML error" and just denied out of meeting lots of time.

[wobfan]

Slack works fine afaik, have been using it for a few years, but I can imagine Meet not working. I remember having switch to chrome for that.

Slack's huddle just straight up block Firefox for me ( 130.0.1, Fedora ).
