Taking another look at Firefox

I've used Firefox quite a while ago before I switched to Chrome, I know, Chrome's horrible but sometimes sins must be done. But we're here for Firefox so let's talk about that!

I went on over to Firefox's website and installed the browser, I imported my bookmarks and logged into the sync service that they provide. It synced my old extentions beautifully. I personally use

uBlock Origin (Adblocker, first thing I always install)
Sponsorblock (Skips sponsors and other noise in videos)
Bitwarden (Password Manager)

The browser looks really good after the redesign, even though it takes some more space at the top, the tabs show some information about the play status, for example a video I'm watching shows "Playing" but when I opened another video in another tab it would show "Autoplay Blocked".

The new tabs in action

Firefox performs really well on my low-spec machine and it's overall a smooth switch from Chrome to Firefox, You may hear from me later
