I moved to FF the same time I found out about the DRM shit. It takes literally 10 minutes and the only thing FF lacks is tab groups. Not a big loss compared to a stupid bigtech telling me what I can use.
FF has tab containers which, while I haven’t used much myself, seem pretty similar to tab groups from a quick search. Edit: Also looks like there’s “Simple tab groups” extension which maybe even more similar to what you may want
Containers have nothing to do with tab groups. One is an organisation tool and the other is a privacy tool.
The problem is that Mozilla dropped the ball so hard, by focusing on making their C-staff into millionaires instead of making a good product, that it no longer matters. Their market share is so small that Firefox compatibility no longer matters.
Soon websites will require that DRM and either Firefox will implement it or it will be unable to render those websites.
Firefox is awesome and I never switched to chrome because Google is the devil
The only use chrome gets on a fresh phone before deactivation is installing Firefox. Same for IE
I've used Firefox since it was Netscape and it's been a fun ride
