I really want to use Firefox, but feels a bit odd (lemmy.world)

Don't get me wrong, I like Firefox a lot, but needs polishing.

I like -impopular opinion- the Proton UI (aka rounded tabs), containers are great, but has some flaws:

  • No PWA support
  • Bookmarks and history panels are unpractical (menus for both options are almost unusable)
  • A separate window for downloads, managing bookmarks? Really?
  • Pocket by default?

We need alternatives to Chromium, and Firefox is the "go to" option, but sometimes is disappointing to use it.

On Mobile it supports PWA.But there's no advantage of them on Desktops

There absolutely is. Installed PWAs can take advantage of various extra APIs, as well as the chrome just being less noisy. Its the one thing I'm personally missing too.

Which API are you missing on Firefox desktop?
