Although Chrome needs to be ditched, few of the features of it are yet to be implemented into other browsers such as copying images to clipboard and dragging & dropping text from one app to another.
Idk why other browsers are not keeping up or idk if these are Chrome exclusive features.
I copy and drag images and text all the time between Firefox and other programs.

O yes, smartphone applications have been fucked for a while. It's one of the reasons I don't like to use my phone as a computer.

firefox has everything, and if you still want spyware, just use edge at that point.

oh ok then yes, most mobile browsers still miss some features.
... did you forget this "/s" ?

I recently switched entirely to Firefox and have yet to find a feature that I miss from Chrome that Firefox doesn't have.
Do you use Twitch? I'm interested in Firefox but twitch for me is pretty problematic, it seems to have a lot of issues with remaining connected to twitch chat.
Oh also twitch clips and twitch vods are both extremely broken in Firefox and have been that way for years 😓
Another big missing Firefox feature is the ability to just right click a page and translate. I use this all the time in chrome.
Also I really dislike how Firefox has this weird keyboard shortcut that I don't think can be disabled: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1425650 it's been a while since Ive looked around for this issue and it seems some people have a workaround so I should try that. But this bug is incredibly frustrating for me whenever I use Firefox.
I use twitch actively and faced some video playback issues once. Other than that it has been a smooth experience for me in live streams and VODs.
Dang, yeah I keep trying to come back to Firefox and I think I could manage it outside of the things above.
Yes but I just use the PurpleTV Android app
