Back to Firefox (Quantum)
 

I was a long-time user of Firefox, but switched to Chrome a year or so ago because it was faster and seemed to offer more in the way of add-ons. I still kept Firefox around for a few things that just didn't work as expected in Chrome.

But I'm back to Firefox now, baby ... Firefox 57, aka Quantum. It seems much faster, and especially when coupled with TamperMonkey, gives me a lot more (and significantly faster) control over the appearance of my web content.

PS. Keyboard shortcuts for text properties in the FT post editor stopped working for me at some point with Chrome. It's nice to have them back with FF.

Keyboard shortcuts used to not work for me either, but they work fine now on Chrome. I suspect it's the FT site upgrade rather than your switch to FF which allows for it.

I haven't tried FFQ yet, though, although the reviews are positive. Looking forward to trying it.

I just checked and keyboard shortcuts for formatting still don't work for me in Chrome.

The other compelling reason for me to switch back to FF, though, is that the Android version supports pretty much all of my add-ons, which means an improved user experience everywhere.

Ugh. I had been using FF for several years until today when I went back to Safari on OS X. The "new and improved" UI on the Mac version make the recent changes to the FT site look brilliant.

Or you could just use Opera and have everything work regardless. Unless it's broken at the other end, of course. (& lots on FT is)

Haven't looked at Opera in over a decade. FF with a few add-ons and a bit of JavaScript can do wonders for a poorly designed (or user-hostile) web site. Perhaps Opera can do the same but I already had an investment in configuring and customizing FF.

This is good to hear. I migrated almost in your pattern--I think I left FF a year earlier--but your post has given me a reason to try Firefox once again.

Maybe once TMP and few other key add-on's that have been deprecated are updated as WebExtensions.

Yup. Once I realized TMP wasn't available, I downgraded back to 56 immediately. I even donated $20 for him to work on it. I just wish he would also work for a version for Chrome.

Another useful add-on I use daily is called TableTools2, and I'm not sure if that will ever be updated. :(

Really liking Quantum...BUT give me back my NoScript ASAP!!!

EDIT: Really hope NoScript is ready soon. That sidebar
is so annoying.

-cough- Ghostery -cough-

It's back, with more controls but I still get the sidebar.

uBlock Origin works..

More like Mozilla SJWfox, amirite?

It Lives! (at least on my machine)
