    I wouldn’t turn this into a Firefox vs chrome(ium) fight,but why would anyone use a reskinned chrome(edge) over the original one? Not being sarcastic, I’m genuinely curious.

      Edge’s vertical tabs and splitscreen are killer features that I cannot replicate without issues on firefox or chrome.

        I’ve been using tree style tab on firefox for maybe almost 10 years and rarely have any issue unless the firefox update broke it which also rarely happens

          I’m using different vertical tabs (forget the name), have the top hidden, except if I hover over specific region, have various identities (containers?) Implementwd within the vertical sidebar and two profiles that show as a separate app on the toolbar.
          Firefox is great.

          Tried and just not as seamless and edge. The groupings and simplicity is killer. Currently running a variant of tst on Firefox and it is just ok.

        I’ve not used the in browser splitscreen, but can’t you just use the window snapping feature built into the Windows OS itself for that?

        Winkey+any arrow key Minimize, Maximize, snap to left or right half of screen.

      You do know that Chrome is not “the original one” and that Edge is not a reskinned Chrome, right?

      Edit: I don’t know why I tipped off all rude like that over something so inconsequential. My apologies.

        Edge is based on chromium, so yes you can say it’s just a reskinned chrome, the only other rendering engine now is gecko, which is what is used by Firefox and it’s forks.

        No need to apologize, we all have our opinions,but I was expecting you to elaborate on that a bit.

        Anyways,no harm no foul.
