Yep. Like to see some competition and I’m a huge fan of rust, so like to support it any way I can.

I hit minor compatibility issues on some sites, but it’s rare.

Main thing I miss is auto shrinking tabs. FF doesn’t support the bajillion tabs methodology so well right now.

What? I have hundreds, sometimes low thousands of tabs open constantly - auto shrinking tabs is exactly what makes me despise Chrome. It's completely unusable once you reach circa 50 and mouse wheel becomes the only way to navigate them.

In contrast, Firefox, thanks to no auto shrinking, is somewhat usable out of the box, and works wonderfully with extensions like Tab Center Redux or Tree Style Tabs.

Ha! That's funny! I used to say the same thing about chrome because the tabs shrunk so much I found them unusable. Also, opening too many tabs always gave me out of memory errors.

But maybe you can get it more to your liking by tweaking browser.tabs.tab in about:config?

Yes! This helps a lot actually. Thanks!
