Tis now three or four days since i rebuilt my new profile in #Floorp, from whence this browser has continued to behave impeccably, thus allowing me simply to enjoy the experience rather than needing to troubleshoot it. I rate it really very highly! 🎉

There's much i like about it that has given it the decided edge over my previous default browser  #FirefoxNightly, but the most important of these arguably is the *separate* side panel, & its collection of user-configurable Web Panels i've arranged. Just like in the brilliant #Vivaldi, & its venerable forebear #OperaPresto, the workflow efficiency enhancement stemming from having web panels as well as the independent tabstrip, is considerable, albeit possibly not immediately self-evident to those who've not tried it.

As i mentioned in a prior toot, possibly the one dark cloud on my #Floorp horizon might be its #ESR base. Over time, given i used #Nightly in great part coz i like getting bugfixes & new features early, i wonder if Floorp will start to frustrate me, once the feature-gap between its frozen ESR-base & Nightly widens dramatically. 🤷‍♀️

Btw, when i decided to contemplate migrating from , i tested #Floorp side by side with #PulseBrowser , from which it rapidly became clear that atm PB is no contender at all [for me]. Whilst i DO like it NOT being based on ESR, it has no additional privacy nor UI settings tweaks over Nightly [unlike Floorp], & the killer blow was my shock discovery that unlike Floorp, PB's side panel is not at all independent of the tabstrip, unless one uses its experimental *native* vertical tabs [i only use #VerticalTabs in my browsers; i abandoned horizontals years ago for their inefficiency]. With the native vertical tabs, PB's panel is indeed separate, but given that both PB's & Floorp's native vertical tabs are flat not tree, in both cases i installed & use #Sidebery. Whereas in Floorp this maintains independence of the panel & the tabstrip, sadly in PB Sidebery installs into the panel, thus having no independence at all, & thereby entirely squandering the potential benefit of a side panel.
