Don’t get me wrong, I like Firefox a lot, but needs polishing.
I like -impopular opinion- the Proton UI (aka rounded tabs), containers are great, but has some flaws:
- No PWA support
- Bookmarks and history panels are unpractical (menus for both options are almost unusable)
- A separate window for downloads, managing bookmarks? Really?
- Pocket by default?
We need alternatives to Chromium, and Firefox is the “go to” option, but sometimes is disappointing to use it.
I got rid of my icon ages ago - one of the great strengths to me is the ability to customise the taskbar as you see fit, you can remove literally any icon you don’t want there. Even the URL/search box if you want.
About the only time I see anything pocket related is when FF updates and there’s some blurb about it in the ‘new features’ page. Otherwise I pretty much forget it exists.
Exactly. I was referring to it as an “inactive icon” in the context of a user that doesn’t bother customizing their UI. Firefox has got to be one of the most customizable browsers out there. Even before delving into the madness that is userscripts!
