Finally migrated back to Firefox today after a multi year user of Chrome.

What pushed me over the edge? Most of my app icons (keep, pulse, calender, whatsapp) stopped opening in their own windows again.

I had to install the PWA extension in Firefox to get that working again, and it's going to be a slight hassle having to copy and paste URLs from all those windows, but I'm tired of fixing the task bar icons.

Could've gone to Edge since it would work out of the box, but I like Firefox. (except for no native PWA support.)

Edit: found I can right click links in the PWA instances and use the send to other device option to open them in my main Firefox window.

I switched back to Firefox about a week ago too. Mostly because Lemmy is a whore for it.

Same for me!

Same. Only thing I miss is being able to set a predefined selection of websites to open at start. As far as I can tell, the current version only has the option to reopen tabs from last session.

Yeah. And I know this is probably bad, but I loved google's default page with news and trending links. I find it super useful and relevant.
