    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
