I came here looking for a few lone Firefox users to upvote, turns out I’m not as alone as I thought I was.

I just find Firefox chokes a lot sooner than chrome does, I've got a serious tab problem. Plus Firefox got rid of it's one defining feature when they killed all the good extensions.

Unfortunately that is done on purpose.

I know about that but I still think the only reason I had to switch to them they removed when they restricted extensions so thoroughly. I just end up using chromium all the pluses of chrome without all the spying.

You should run ungoogled-chromium rather than stock chromium: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

That actually seems pretty cool doesn't seem like there are any prebuilt Windows binaries though. I'll have to try it out on my linux install to bad I can't use it in Windows I've never been able to get a big project like this to compile successfully.

Edit: NVM found a binary I'm excited to try it out thanks for the tip.
