Ah for fucks sake, I really liked this browser.

same, any alternative?

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 7 months ago (3 children)

LibreWolf or just regular Firefox? Which unique Floorp features do you miss in Firefox?

[–] priapus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Good sidebars and PWA's, two things Firefox will probably never add sadly.

i mostly like the layout, everything being collapsed unless you hover over it, but there prob some extension for it already

Waterfox has auto hide for different stuff and the next update brings a sidebar for vertical tabs similar to floorp (you can already enable it in about:config)

[–] SeekPie@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Any with vertical tabs? Floorp has them built in and it works well.

Midori is a fork of florp and I think is better, too.

[–] priapus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Midori and Firedragon are both based off Floorp.
