    I will when they finally fix dragging tabs between windows

    Edit: I’m not saying the operation isn’t functional, I’m saying it lacks certain small visual feedback aspects like popping a tab out into a new window while dragging. This in and of itself isn’t breaking, but Firefox had a lot of rough edges like that every time I used it, and I’m using this specific one as a benchmark to judge if I should give the browser a shot again

        To some extend, yes. But convenience and workflow trumps both.for example, I moved to DuckDuckGo a while back. Not because of privacy, but because Google kept removing customisation options, and it’s search results where getting worse and worse.

            I agree

            I’m using chrome, sponsorblock and adblock+. Google hasn’t told me to turn it off yet.

            Maybe it’s because I’m in the EU?

            If it starts becoming a problem, I intend to look into writing a pull request to fix the firefox UX issues

              Fair enough! In that case I also wouldn’t be pressured to jump ship, in fact the only reason I jumped back to firefox in the first place was because chrome couldnt handle the amount of tabs I had and they started crashing

        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

                You’ll get more flies with honey than vinegar.

                Foss advocates showing once again how bad they are at persuading people.

                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

      Strangely nit-picky. The reason this matters to you is because you are used to it. It’s so small an aspect of the browser though that you would forget about it quickly. Imo of course. I never even noticed this when I changed and I use the function many times a day.
