Edge quickly became my main browser. Its Tab Groups are borderline genius.
Firefox has tab groups, tab notes, tab categories, vertical tabs
Only thing is missing integration with teams and outlook.
It's a shame Firefox's tab groups are quite bad at what their supposed to do and their colour schemes are quite obnoxious.
I haven't used edge. Could you tell me what I'm missing out on?
I don't use edge either. I'm comparing it to chrome.
On Firefox, for some reason, the tab and tab text colours are as if you had high contrast theme on. They are horrible to look at.
There are also a bunch of small, but over all annoying, QoL features missing. For example when you have a tab open from a tab group and you click the tab group to minimise it, it doesn't minimise the tab you have selected.
Just small things like that. It just feels unfinished.
Until they started to generate slopilot labels for them. Because nothing is safe from the slop.
Might be. I have a cleanup tool that disabled stuff like that OS wide. I kept the Edge shopping assistant, because it did find me a few sweet deals early on.
