Maintaining an Independent Browser Is Expensive

The thing that annoys me the most is to change tab: on chrome / brave we can just swipe the top bar and change tab. On firefox, we need to first click on the tab button, and then find the right tab by looking at a huge list of tabs. I find it much less practical and that's what got me back to chrome.

Ha yeah. Firefox seems to want to encourage people to use fewer tabs, by having the tab-bar on top be a scroll-bar, so it's super annoying to have many tabs open.

All you need to do is go to your awesome bar and type "%" as the first character, then space, then start typing the string you're looking for.

Yeah but on mobile it's annoying to type % .. it's so much faster to just swipe the address bar
