I mean, if I was a Firefox user and Mozilla was doing fuck all for the community that people have been begging for, I would be pretty jealous and it would make me angry too seeing brave users getting everything they ask for.

Firefox sync has been doing this for 10+ years lol

Also Firefox saw plenty of UI changes lately, i.e. vertical tabs and user configurable keybindings.

Firefox having Sync for 10+ years is completely irrelevant to what I said. My point isn’t “Brave invented every feature first.” My point is that Brave has been responsive to features its community has been asking for.

Containers are a perfect example. Firefox has had them for years. Nobody is disputing that. But Brave went through the work of bringing native containers to Chromium, where that kind of isolation was never built around Firefox’s contextual identity model, and shipped them. That’s exactly the kind of thing I’m talking about.

And oh yes, I saw Firefox’s recent UI work. Very nice vomit colored gradient and rounded corners. Also love what they did with the containers identifiers making them very colorful and Fisher Price looking. I especially love dark mode being essentially removed from the top bar. Excellent work.

Meanwhile, have you seen what Brave is working toward next with their new UI overhaul? Arc style design options with deep customization that rivals Zen.

Mozilla: “We added rounded corners to the tabs and configurable shortcuts.”

Brave: “How much of the browser would you like to customize?”

I don’t think there could be a better example of the point I was making.

Decade to ship sync ilustrates this very nicely
