    I will when they finally fix dragging tabs between windows

    Edit: I’m not saying the operation isn’t functional, I’m saying it lacks certain small visual feedback aspects like popping a tab out into a new window while dragging. This in and of itself isn’t breaking, but Firefox had a lot of rough edges like that every time I used it, and I’m using this specific one as a benchmark to judge if I should give the browser a shot again

        To some extend, yes. But convenience and workflow trumps both.for example, I moved to DuckDuckGo a while back. Not because of privacy, but because Google kept removing customisation options, and it’s search results where getting worse and worse.

            I agree

            I’m using chrome, sponsorblock and adblock+. Google hasn’t told me to turn it off yet.

            Maybe it’s because I’m in the EU?

              Fair enough! In that case I also wouldn’t be pressured to jump ship, in fact the only reason I jumped back to firefox in the first place was because chrome couldnt handle the amount of tabs I had and they started crashing

        Popping out a tab doesn’t turn it into a draggable window, but just into cursor basic cursor held object. This gives no visual feedback on what is actually happening and makes the whole operation much less visually clear

        It’s a small thing, but in the times I tried Firefox, I noticed a lot of these rough edges to the point that it became frustrating to use. I’m using this specific one as a benchmark for when I’m willing to give it a shot again

            You’re all getting quite hung up about someone voicing that they’re not ready to switch to your preferred browser tbh

            Like, it’s not that you are negatively affected by me having UX preferences

              Yes, we are. Chrome holding the Internet hostage affects everyone, and you not switching because of some insane petty bullshit is ruining the internet for everyone.

              It would be one thing if the functionality didn’t exist, but not switching because of some extremely minor visual effect is wild.

              Everyone is like this too. “Oh I tried Firefox but the X button is the wrong color”. “I tried Firefox but the tabs are weirdly shaped”, "I tried Firefox but

                You’ll get more flies with honey than vinegar.

                Correct. That is why I am not switching

                Besides, the EU is shown time and time again that it will protect its citizens if the megacorps overstep their boundaries, so the claim that chrome holds too much power is bs
