@bitinn Lol, what? What convenience features or extensions does Chrome have that Firefox doesn't? What sites does the average person use that don't work on Firefox? It feels like most Chrome users just assume Firefox is a barely working browser without ever using it

@tev Interesting, probably not something necessary for most considering it's the first time I've heard of a Snapchat web app existing, but Firefox does support it with a user agent switch. Apparently Snapchat even restricted Safari for no reason, they just like to discriminate against people that don't use US monopolist software, I'm sure their users are used to that by now considering how bad the Android app is

@tev @luna ok lol last time I heard about it was in 2019, thought it's basically a dead app by now that only basic bitches use now

@vixencore @tev It does seem like the only people still using Snapchat are high school neurotypicals

@luna @tev yea that's exactly what I've seen so far too

@luna @bitinn I've been using Firefox for years, but I can't say I don't miss tab groups. There's some extensions that sort of have the feature but none match Chromium's much easier interface imo.
I switched most of my relatives to Firefox and it's been great, but they get blocked from work apps such as MS Teams. I personally visit a couple Cloudflared sites that often put me in an infinite captcha loop. None of this is Firefox's fault, but it does nudge people quite a bit toward Chromium.

@allpurposemat @luna @bitinn I run FF and Chrome side-by-side at work. Except for the Google suite, Firefox is faster and more stable than Chrome. I don't get why more people don't dump Chrome just due to it's shitty basic ctl-tab functionality. The Firefox behavior (cycle thru tabs in last-accessed order) is so much better, and matches what every OS I use does when switching apps. I tried several Chrome extensions that graft on this feature, but all were clunky.

@ozdreaming I agree and much prefer Firefox's behavior in most cases. However, it's hard to justify for non-tech people why they should be dual booting browsers instead of using the one that always works with minor "inconveniences". That said, my family are all dual booting w/ Chromium, which shows it's possible, though I sadly expect we're a minority.
