  • > The slowness and slugishness.

    Mozilla has a nice tool to help identify sources of "slowness and slugishness"[1], you may want to give it a try -- oftentimes it's found that the issue is not Firefox itself, but some extensions, external processes, or undue modifications in `about:config`.

  • MartinFox

    Really simple userChrome.css for Firefox 89 to make the active tab stand out more

  • I didn't care much for these entire UI revamps, so I wrote a much simpler one: https://github.com/arp242/MartinFox

    2174 lines of CSS vs. 53 lines :-)

    I don't overly care how every pixel looks or what the icon is and such; I just want my tabs to have some contrast.

  • Surfingkeys

    Map your keys for web surfing, expand your browser with javascript and keyboard. (by hbt)

  • I use and forked SurfingKeys on Chrome https://github.com/hbt/Surfingkeys

    Calling tridactyl a replacement for vimperator ignores all the features and extensive customization available through the old Firefox API.

  • uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

  • No, there is subset of features available for Chrome with the same name. You don't get quite few important privacy features.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
