CritiGalDesist∞Irony of Brave Browser
const_voidNo idea why people use and recommend Brave when Firefox exists. It’s full of crypto and other unnecessary add-ons out of the box.
Because Firefox on IOS has no browser extensions
Stillthat is because all browsers on iOS are basically safari cuz Apple doesn’t allow fun
Orion apparently allows extensions like uBlock Origin. Not sure if anyone has put it to the test but superficially, its there. Hard to tell where Orion ends and uBlock Origin begins since it seems adept at dealing with fingerprinting and other niceties by itself
You can’t download and run code on iOS, which is pretty much the definition of an extension. You could ship some extensions “with” your browser, but at that point they’re just a feature. iOS has adblocking addons at the system level though, doesn’t it?
Ya, the extension aspects of iOS are a headache in terms of understanding everything. I look forward to liberalisation of 3rd party browsers allowed and any consequent innovation on mobile browsing.
Also, its CEO donated to a campaign to ban gay marriage.
Violet_McQuasionalHeh. Maybe he’s doing high-end closeting.
FlakyFirefox still doesn’t have vertical tabs which I’ve found really useful for my workflow right now, so I use a fork called Pulse. Don’t want to use any extensions for it when Pulse and other forks do it natively.
I know it's most likely not relevant with you anymore, since you're using Pulse, but have you tried any of the vertical/tree tab extensions?
I used Tree Style Tab but I didn’t like having to change the userChrome.css to make it streamlined (i.e. hiding the tab bar), while Pulse does it natively and really well. I do have an extension for tab groups that imitates Vivaldi’s tab workspaces though, not sure if those will conflict. (If you’re curious, it’s called Simple Tab Groups.)
Edit: There’s also the issue of Mozilla calling the editable userChrome.css a legacy feature, which kinda worries me about its possible removal. Pulse having vertical tabs as a native feature skips that.
sorry, why not tree style tabs?
you can hide the normal tab bar and only have the tree style ones on the side
I explain it in another comment, tl;dr: have to edit
userChrome.css to give it a more streamlined look (and Mozilla calls that feature “legacy” in about:config since v69 which kinda worries me about that feature’s removal) and I’m not sure if some extensions might conflict (Would it have issues with Simple Tab Groups). Pulse does it natively and really well, so I’m happy with it.
There’s a million add-ons that add this, isn’t there? I have one installed at home that basically makes it into what arc has
Probably, but between the disabling of
userChrome.css (even if you can enable it via about:config) and a possible conflict between other addons I use, I’m comfy with my Pulse setup.
Since it is based on Chromium, but promises to keep the new Google tracking out in the future and maintain compatibility with extensions, I can see why it would be recommended. But only as a backup to access a site that won’t load in Firefox.
we’re back to the days when Firefox first came out, except instead of some websites only working with IE, they’ll only work in Chrome/Edge.
KaynBrave has marketed itself more aggressively than Firefox did.
Additionally, Firefox’ most devoted userbase can be quite bitter at times.
It’s faster on older devices
