My favourite part about Floorp is they're actively working one of my favourite features from Edge (Native Vertical Tabs) into a fork of Firefox, it's not perfect and in the meantime they're just recommending addons like TST but once it's ready it'll be the ultimate browser personally. Edit: PWAs too!

I've been using Floorp for a few months already and I'm happy with the actual performance and customization possibilities. Aside from the usual drawbacks that Firefox also has (e.g. some websites that are optimized for Chromium only), it's better than Firefox for me. Hell, even RAM consumption seems to be lower (but don't expect humongous differences) than on Firefox - though now I don't care that much about this since I built another PC with much more and faster RAM, but it is important for people that use low-end machines, for instance. For Chromium-related stuff, I just keep ungoogled-chromium with some extensions installed, in case I need it. It's simple and efficient.

For that reason I do prefer when my linux distro have the softwares in binary to avoid flatpak installs if needed. (Arch AUR is good for that). Lightweight is also dependent on how the browser cache and temporary files is set as it can explode the disk space depending how the program is configured. Librewolf example has its cache in auto-delete by default and therefore avoid this bloat trap but it create some inconvenience of using the more bandwidth and cancels sites log in after restarts. It is advisable to be familiar with the settings of all browsers to tune them at your preferences.

Thank you for bring this browser ro our attention. I personally would love to see more Brave-like Firefox forks in the future, especially with how things are going with Chromium/Chrome.

Thanks for introducing me to this browser, I had never heard of it. I decided to switch from Chromium based browsers to Firefox based ones and ended up missing one feature that stuff like Edge, Opera and Vivaldi have and it might sound dumb, but the sidebar, and is something I gave up for Waterfox, but now I don't have to as sometimes you have things you regularly check/look at/use and don't want to navigate to the website sometimes and the sidebar is convenient for setting up pages/web apps like that. Plus it has a couple of features I was using plugins for (like the spoofing) and seems pretty solid performance wise.

Thanks Chris! Have been a FF user for a very long time. Lately, I've been bouncing back and forth between Brave and FF, due to the issues with YT (issues being ads).

I swapped back to firefox about a year ago when anything chromium based (basically everything else) would cause my AMD graphics driver to randomly crash/stall for like 7 or 10 seconds any time it was using hardware acceleration (basically when videos were opened). I disabled it in settings, but after realized that Firefox didn't have these issues at all even with everything left enabled. No problem for me, I love Firefox and now I have the same browser on all of my systems and am happy. I heard of Floorp a bit back from a friend and swapped to it from standard FF because it wouldn't cost me anything (both support firefox account, which I use for bookmarks, so the process was just logging in). Funnily enough I've kept using it partly because it doesn't feel any different, and partly because of the integrated vertical tab support. Sure there are extensions, one of them is integrated for the tree style view, but with it being just an option it's less work for me to do so I'm more likely to use it. I can keep my browser window mostly the same size I like (I have powertoys when on windows set to have a 3:2 block mostly in the center for my "work area" and the side areas of the ultrawide are for other stuff I want visible) and have a better way (for me) to organize/view tabs, especially if I have too many open as happens too often.

Thanks Chris - I follow you for the past 6 months, and get good advise and useful tips. This one, I'm happy to check out, since I'm checking also mullvad vs. my librewolf (so far my favorite). Off the bat,, it floorp seems to have some things I was looking for - like embedded side tabs and the elimination of the top bar. Not sure yet of ublock and noscript are embedded or not (I usually like to be able to control them myself), but I will check out if it has also the multi-container and anti-fingerprinting and so forth which I habitually install as addons, amongst others).

I've been in the Firefox camp since around the late-2000s. Since August 2023, I've been using a fork of Firefox called LibreWolf as my main web browser, and I've been satisfied with it so far. LibreWolf emphasizes privacy and security by blocking/disabling certain features and settings by default and doesn't include telemetry. Floorp doesn't have any features that I find compelling enough to make me want to switch browsers. In addition, Floorp is built from Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release), which in turn is based on an older version of the Firefox source code. Since the ESR version is available longer, it has the potential to give hackers more time to develop exploits for it. That's no bueno for me. LibreWolf, on the other hand, is always built from the latest Firefox source code, so it always has the most recent security updates, features and stability. I think I'll stick with LibreWolf for now.

@@Klusio19 ah it might be placebo or new browser bias then. Somehow it seems very springy and responsive 😬. Maybe edge was very slow. I love that we can place the sidebar where ever and get rid of title bar and all these customizations..maximum utilization of space!

@@engineering_guy It can just be that your accumulated user gunk is slowing down the browser. Make a different profile and see if the problem persists.

One thing that i love with Chrome and that i miss in Firefox is that every tab uses its own process. That means if one tab is very busy for some reason then only that tab is busy, the rest of the browser works just normal while if that happens with Firefox the whole browser is blocked. Sure, Chrome uses much more Ram because of that feature, but if i have to choose between a browser that uses less Ram, but can get stuck sometimes and a browser that uses way more Ram, but never gets stuck then i would choose the browser that never gets stuck. A Firefox with that feature would be my dreambrowser.

just set it to unload tabs after some time

Hey, can you explain how to block KZread shorts on mobile too please? I saw in the code that it was also for the mobile app but the Ublock interface is different on smartphones so I don't really know how to do it properly ^^' I love what I've seen of your content. You're using Ublock, you're on Firefox... Already a great impression

The only problems I have with it is that when minimizing it makes the user choose the tab instead of open the window using the current tab(previous) and the right click paste does not work on the default notes. It requires the keyboard shortcut which I think is control V.

had to search a little bit to find a portable version of it but I'll give it a try let's see if I also return to firefox after a decade

The fact that it's based off of ESR version is kinda a dealbreaker for me. Firefox's Quantum engine is already behind Chromium to the point it could easily affect every user (I'm still a Firefox fan and it's my no. 1 browser). But my point is, unless you're on an older/LTS distro or have to use older version due to legacy applications, using ESR will only bring drawbacks and there's no point in using it (ESR is basically an older version that only gets security updates and maybe bugfixes as the non-ESR).

Give it a try. Its even faster than the newest Firefox version. The internal settings of firefox have been tweaked to the core. Personally, its the snappiest browser I've used.

Extended Support Release. You seem to think it does not mean what it means.

@@raygunsforronnie847 Maybe I didn't explain it clearly. It's basically an "LTS" version of a browser. Feature updates are held until the next "major" release while the security updates are still pushed regularly.

It's really good, try it

I love the name, honestly….definitely memorable.

I have a question about what security priority is appropriate for Linux vs Windows vs Mac OS

@chris It seems that you are using dwm-win32, can you please make a video about and your configuration and how stable is it?

honestly im not sure if i need to do deeper tweaking but my problem with floorp is it seems that chrome spoofing doesnt work at all or if it does it doesnt work well, and most websites i use daily require me going into the settings to toggle the setting on or off too often

In the past I was using old internet explorer 11 because there was a possibility to put bookmarks/opentabs next to small address bar. Thanks to that I had one or 2 thin bars, almost like full screen mode. Is this webbrowser can provide something similiar to this?

i don't see any reason to use something other than firefox. appreciate the vid either way.

Tree style tab 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I hope one day this will be an official feature

I still use Thorium and quite satisfied despite the drama 🙂

how it compare to waterfox and librewolf ? resource usage ? frequent update ?

Yes, but can we edit the telemetry tracking like FireFox ?

Less features is a feature to me; I like the de-mozzilafied Libre Wolf. Less built-in crap means I can more easily customize it to my liking.

Just went to try. The sidebar is more interesting than I though. We can add any site in mobile/compact mode as a side bar.

Can you also add Custom Local HTML websites?

Hi there, interested in floorp. But I'm using Brave because I can get a chrome extension that is still chrome specific (klarna), does spoofing chrome allow to be able to get chrome specific extensions? How does it work exactly?

Cool! Thanks for the recommendation.

Really wanted to give Floorp a try but unlike Firefox it doesn't follow my system theme (MATE DE on Mint) and also wouldn't even let me do a window resize when Compiz is involved. Waiting for the devs to get a bit more sane approach...

Didn't even reach the finer stuff since... can't resize a window and no window borders and colors that follow my system-wide scheme? Why bother with such a crippled program? @@pastoryoda2789

installing floorop with firefox privacy script is pretty good

Will spoofing chrome give web developers more of a reason to not design their website to work with firefox in the future due to low firefox traffic though?

I was using Floorp for a bit, but uploading videos onto KZread takes longer somehow on Firefox browsers. Idk if it's just google doing their thing or just an issue I'm causing. I'd like to continue to use Floorp though. I'll probably switch back to it.

I like living on the edge so for me it's Firefox Nightly 🙂

Waterfox is also a good shout

How do I change the browser font? And what font are you using ?

what are your opinions on libre wolf?

Multi row tab bar is interesting

I was stucked on vivaldi, when I met Floorp I switched inmediatly. Long life Firefox

whats your font, looks pretty nice

Does it have tab grouping? The only thing that prevents me from moving to Firefox is the native tab grouping like Edge. It's such a killer feature for vertical tab browsing.
