    No shit Firefox is really missing:

    • systemwide Webview for Android and Linux
    • sandbox compatible with Chromium, especially on Linux and Android
    • webapps through a secondary profile
    • very secure preset in privacy settings to make it en par with Torbrowser / Arkenfox
    • native support for custom Search engines (literally Edge and Chrome have that)
    • possibility for a side panel with custom sites.

    Thats it basically. Firefox is great

      native support for custom Search engines

      Can you explain what do you mean by this? I’m already using Firefox address bar to search game wikis directly

        Fenix allows actual manual search engines but no opensearch, Desktop allows opensearch but no manual ones. Yay!

        All the good sites have no opensearch, and you cant do cool stuff like presetting the sorting or only used on Ebay.

      • sandbox compatible? Elaborate please
      • PWAs would be awesome, agreed
      • bad for casual, non-techie users, which expect pages to work
      • every site that supports opensearch is supported, just go on a page supporting it, click on the address bar and click on the green plus symbol
      • side bar exists as an API for extensions, same for containers! Mozilla provides an official extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/side-view/

        Geckoview is not a webview for those Platforms.

        The Chromium sandbox is way better

        Very secure profile. Your argument makes no sense, it would be opt in and Arkenfox works nearly everywhere.

        Yeah I am not talking about opensearch but actual custom Search parameters. Fenix doesnt support opensearch too.

        Oh nice extension, will try that! no that is not a sidebar I would like

        Addition: gui button for managing profiles, especially for secure and insecure profile. Most people dont even know profiles exist!

        Also: unlocking profile with hardware key
