    Firefox is the way. If you haven’t tried Firefox since 2008, you should. It is as fast as Chrome. It has improved significantly since 2008.

        Only if you could choose the default container for the new tabs instead having to long press the new tab button and selecting it manually.

        Came here to say this. I wish other browsers would catch up to Firefox and add this feature for when I have to use them (esp. Chrome/Edge).

      Not that benchmarks matter a whole lot these days, but I think for some benchmarks it was faster than Chrome. It’s close enough to not even be a factor, in any case.

      Also, it has a feature that Chrome seemingly has no analogue for, and that is: containers.

      I never entirely stopped using Firefox. I still use Chrome alongside Firefox for certain things at work.

        Brave is Chromium based. UBlock will be affected by the changes.

      It had its lows and highs in my opinion. But yeah Firefox on desktop is a great experience right now. Sadly I can’t say that about mobile version, it’s frustrating to say the least.
