Finally migrated back to Firefox today after a multi year user of Chrome.

What pushed me over the edge? Most of my app icons (keep, pulse, calender, whatsapp) stopped opening in their own windows again.

I had to install the PWA extension in Firefox to get that working again, and it's going to be a slight hassle having to copy and paste URLs from all those windows, but I'm tired of fixing the task bar icons.

Could've gone to Edge since it would work out of the box, but I like Firefox. (except for no native PWA support.)

Edit: found I can right click links in the PWA instances and use the send to other device option to open them in my main Firefox window.

I suspect I'll be ditching Opera on desktop/Android for FF as soon as the manifest V3 changes make it to opera and kill ad blocking. Shouldn't be long now.

They keep pushing it back so who knows if that will happen on January 1st 2024

How are the developer tools lately? That's the only thing keeping me on Chrome at work. Otherwise, I'm using Firefox on my phone and personal computer.
