    I wish Firefox would stop rolling out redesigns, color themes, and other visual tweaks every couple years and instead focus on features and bugs.

    Improve Adblock capabilities, better tab and session management, improve sync, improve site css and js management, built in dark-mode.

    Hell, just look at the list of most used extensions, it’s a great place to start understanding what users want.

      they can't focus on adblock because most of their money comes from google

        Yup. They can only offer limited built-in protection due to their revenue source, but important to note that unlike Chrome they don't dictate on what extensions can offer.

        So they are practically speaking the only game in town (Brave being the exception on Chrome as they are keeping support for UBlock Origin)

        Firefox Nightly on Android also allows desktop extensions to be used.
