I really want to use Firefox, but feels a bit odd (lemmy.world)

Don't get me wrong, I like Firefox a lot, but needs polishing.

I like -impopular opinion- the Proton UI (aka rounded tabs), containers are great, but has some flaws:

  • No PWA support
  • Bookmarks and history panels are unpractical (menus for both options are almost unusable)
  • A separate window for downloads, managing bookmarks? Really?
  • Pocket by default?

We need alternatives to Chromium, and Firefox is the "go to" option, but sometimes is disappointing to use it.

@MrPhibb @ravnswood PWA stands for progressive web apps. Know that little popup you sometimes get when you navigate to sites, saying 'Add to Home Screen'? That's PWA. It's basically accessing the website without navigating to it every time, but its made with HTML, CSS, JS and WebAssembly.
