the thing about evangelizing firefox is that there's a lot of talk about making sure the web isn't just chrome and keeping the web open, which is good and important, but also we lose sight of telling people about functionality that chrome doesn't have like:

  • did you know that firefox lets you hold shift while right-clicking to prevent websites from hijacking the context menu

Maybe some of those aren't Firefox exclusive but

  • middle click on the Reload button to duplicate the current tab (I learnt about this one a few weeks ago, blew my fucking mind)
  • Multi-Accounts Containers are (IMO) much more convenient than "profiles". I know I rarely need an entire "browser instance" with a specific set of cookies/extensions but I do need to quickly check one tab with a specific account or whatever.
  • Firefox's Reader Mode is pretty good. Idk how it compares to Chrome's one (who got it fairly recently) but it's there.

I'm sure there are more but I can't think of any rn

  • mobile Firefox supports user scripts and adblock

This is the really critical one for me. I love love love being automatically redirected to antifandom.com and other little userscript niceties. (Fair warning: mobile Firefox is also kinda buggy and a bit crash-prone, but it's worth it ime)
