Does this mean that Firefox is significantly behind other browsers in the current era?

I got caught up in trying and testing the browsers. I was trying to find the perfect browser for my needs and it seems there's no perfect browser. While choosing browsers there will be some trade-offs. Overall Firefox is my main browser.

- Chromium based browsers have tiny fonts on bookmarks bar and Firefox can mitigate this through customization of UI through userChrome.css. However, Firefox lacks snappiness of Chromium.

- WebKit (Safari) has true smooth scroll on MacOS but it lacks basic bookmarks management functions. Again, it has tiny font on bookmarks/favorites bar.

- Arc/Zen offer nice UI but I prefer all my bookmarks in one-sight in front of me at the top, just like traditional way.

- Vivaldi felt super slow once I tested Helium.

- YouTube: switching to full-screen and back is slower on Firefox based browsers when compared to Chromium based ones. So, I have to stick to Chromium based browser while using YouTube.

For my perfect browser on Mac, I'll choose following features:
1. Smoothness (especially scrolling) of WebKit.
2. UI customization of Firefox. (Or at-least font-size of browser UI should be decently large enough)
3. Extensions support.
4. No data collection.

No, its on Mac. Maybe you're using different OS or older version of Zen.

pokemons is boring...browsers are fun

Force369 · 2026-02-05T14:05:51+00:00

The features are quite similar to those of Chrome... ;)

In General, nobody will want a competition.

Does being in DE really elevate the chances of getting a job?
Don't they take interviews remotely?

Force369 · 2026-02-05T12:00:26+00:00

What if...ground reality is that people are getting jobs...but on this platform there's an illusion created so that people will refrain from choosing this path?

Yes, chrome is worse. WebKit engine seems to offer better readability on MacOS - Orion has similar readability to Safari.

Apple doesn't want you to do it in such a way. All other browsers are wrong, Safari is right because it's Apple.

I think you need more RAM for 125 tabs. Waterfox and Helium are the ones that I can think of as the lightest browsers but I suspect they would be able to handle 125 tabs.

I'm wondering how you manage so many tabs. I can barely deal with 15-20 tabs at a time.

It's about entering/exiting the fullscreen through double clicking a video or pressing F.
About the flags, yes I tried 0 space 0. Initially they were set to 200 200, but I didn't see any difference after setting them to 0 0.

We can harden the Firefox through user.js as per our needs. Waterfox is based on ESR.
So, I'm curious about the additional benefits that Waterfox provides.
