Agree to disagree. I use Firefox and I don't like it. I'm a taboholic and the tabs don't layer. Leaving YouTube up makes it run real slow and I have to close it and open it again. Firefox always seems to be one of the browsers that's not compatible with some websites. Every now and then I get a tab that opens, especially when I restart, telling me about some feature. And that's just the stuff I can think of off the top of my head. Brave gets a lot of crap on this platform, but I never had any of these problems. Why do I use it? Because they all seem to suck. Chrome is just Google. It's very secure except from the worst offender. Brave is a scam. Edge is...well Edge. Mulvad didn't work for me because I like to come back to where I left off when I shut down and I guess that doesn't go with it's secure nature. It's frustrating.

Got any other suggestions?

tabs don’t layer.

there is vertical tab support now, if that's your thing.

Leaving YouTube up makes it run real slow

Switch to mobile website with a user agent, YT desktop is heavy even on chromium.

I looked and I simply can't find this anywhere. In the distant past I had a browser that made a second row of tabs if it filled the screen horizontally. Strangely, I thought it was Firefox, but it was a while ago. So I'm not sure. I don't want them vertically, I want the tabs to wrap if I have too many so I don't have to scroll left and right.

Also I think it's funny that I gave a few reasons why I disagree. I think people went," that's a cogent, well thought out argument." Down vote! LOL.

My suggestion is every browser is a compromise, so for all but the lightest users, we need more than one. #Firefox is unique not being Chromium.

Because Firefox is not Chromium, I can use it on old computers made obsolete. Eg:

Win 7 ends at Chrome 109.
Ubuntu 16 ends at Chrome 106.

(Chromium version = Chrome version)

My Firefox is new if not the latest in those OS.
