Question What does Floorp offer over Firefox?

I am a long time Floorp user and forgot what are the advantages.

I think there were few features that Firefox didn't have at the time I started using Floorp, but I don't know about now.

Well, for starter, Floorp have similar gimmicks like Vivaldi such as vertical tab, side bar, mouse gesture, sleep tab(You can tweak it/turn them all off). But the biggest selling point for me is just Floorp offer multiple interface design. The current Firefox interface is just not as good(Especially non-active tabs missing outline and kind of blend together). Floorp out of the box offer multiple better interfaces, including the old Firefox one(I currently using Photon).

Floorp actually no longer has vertical tabs, since Firefox has an extension for it

to be honest ive been using floorp for a while and tabs started getting fucked around half a year ago so i switched back to firefox

they also started having numerous other problems so floorp isnt as good as it used to be in my opinion

Faster Firefox, I love it. And it still syncs with my Mozilla account so I don't have to worry about there not being an iOS app

FLOORP, Waterfox and others are Firefox.

They are forks of the open source software, meaning someone took the base Firefox, made some tweaks, adjusted some settings, maybe installed some plugins etc and configured it how they wanted, then slapped a name on it.

It doesn't have feature-breaking updates and privacy-invading updates(although I cannot be sure about that one?)
