What's your wishlist? Browsers feel pretty complete to me in that I can open all the websites I want to open, and atleast with FF I can easily block ads.


Mine is very simple: functional autofill and page translations. In most countries it’s a battle to turn it on. Even then, it’s not so reliable.


This is why I haven’t switched. Language translation support for most languages is completely missing on iOS. They just don’t support translate outside a handful of languages.


Some links I want to open in 1 container profile, some in the other.

I need a native switcher, or better profiles support. In chrom/ium browsers with velja (open to alternatives which support ff profiles), I can click a link and it prompts me in which profile I want to open. Only thing blocking me from switching to firefox. (and figma perf is bad on ff but that's not really a ff problem)


Try multi account containers mozzila extension. Works great.


Two things stand out: 1. native vertical tabs 2. native tab groups

Yes, I know there are extensions for these things, but I, personally, find them horrible.


> native tab groups

that addon is semi official


which one?


Multi account containers is a extension developed by mozzila.


Are you asking because you have the power to implement some of the missing features, or because you will tell me I don't actually need what i think i want.

1) i never could get password/autofill syncing between several devices working quickly and reliable as in chrome.

2) no app mode in Firefox

3) on desktop i don't like the UI and i would need to install userchrome stuff to "fix" it.


Actually, one nice-to-have: built in, performant ad blocking which is extensible (preferably compatible with existing lists), like e.g., Brave or Vivaldi does.


sounds a waste of time to build considering how well uBlock Origin works


I disagree. For me (can't speak for others), ad/tracker blocking is an essential part of the browsing experience. I want a built-in, performant solution instead of depending on a 3rd party addon.
