I'm ready as soon as there is a copy of the vertical tab implementation from Edge. Until then, you'll have to pry Edge from my cold dead fingers.

@Frostwolf I switched to Firefox a few years ago. Using Google Chrome on a low end Windows 10 laptop was a nightmare.
Firefox is alright, it served me adequately after Opera got sold off, but Vivaldi is so much better.
Even though it's based on a fork of chromium Vivaldi has an extremely strong focus on innovation as well as privacy, they've commited themselves to working around Mv3 for instance and their in-built ad-blocker is absolutely top notch but you can also install uBlock Origin to work with it in tandem on their desktop browser if you want.
And even though it's extremely feature rich, with speed dial, ad-blocker, password vault and side bar being some of their out of the box features all their power user functions are opt in through the settings where you can choose to stack your tabs vertically or enable mouse gestures (couldn't live without these) and a whole bunch more, it really offers everything you could think of and probably a whole bunch more.
The me from 6months back would be onboard with this idea, I don't really recommend firefox anymore.
It's a bloated mess run by a very questionable corp. I had to move to PaleMoon, it's the only acceptable browser for me now.

On a Windows machine absolutely. On MacOS, why not trust safari? The battery management for Safari is fantastic.

I have been a loyal Firefox users for years but I would lie if I didn't say I get tired of websites not working.
So i did the switch a few months ago and ofc i am very happy but i n the german version of FF you can't autofill adressfields like name and well your adress and so on. Anyone know how to activate that? i googled it a few times but none of the solutions worked

I recommend Chromium Ungoogled if you can't let go of the Chromium ecosystem for some reason. It's an open source fork of Chromium and puts pretty much all the power in the users' hands, so much so that to get certain features to even work you have to configure it. It is also fully compatible with the Chrome app store, if you want it to be.
