@mikeyb2001 ??? There is no Drop-down bookmarks menu in Vivaldi. I know this because I created a Feature Request to add it many years ago

check the web panels

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend my extension for creating an adaptive theme in Firefox. Like "Adaptive Tab Bar Colour" or "VivaldiFox", but better: Adaptive Theme Creator. You can use the favicon color as in Vivaldi, the color of the top of the page, or your own color. Github: https://github.com/aminought/firefox-adaptive-theme-creator.

I have created a number of mods for Vivaldi and this forum has remained close to my heart, but I have decided to switch to Firefox for several reasons. Now, I am trying to be useful there by transferring some of the features from Vivaldi into Firefox.

I've also created a userChrome.js script to save the width of the sidebar. Each panel now has its own width, which changes when switching: https://github.com/aminought/firefox-sidebar-width.

Please, star by Github repositories, I just don't know how to promote my works

other than being gecko based what can firefox do that you cant already do in vivaldi with some tweaking

The only privacy/security extension I use is uBlock Origin, so I'm not nearly as security minded as many others.
One thing I have discovered is that the Gecko browsers are much better at fingerprint detection than the Chromium browsers.
All the settings you need for this are in their about:config, so there is no need for an extension as there would be for the Chromium browsers.

I tried the Epic Privacy Browser today.
Despite the fact that it's a Chromium-based browser, its built-in anti-fingerprinting protection is second to none.
I did have a few issues with using it, but I did not notice any Web site problems with the anti-fingerprinting protection enabled.
Why is it so difficult for other Chromium browsers to offer that feature?

With the new update of Firefox (132.0) Sidebery is not showing in sidebar.

It is only me?

@barbudo2005 I never tried Sidebery

Hello, cheaters! Now you can add a second sidebar with web panels to your Firefox: https://github.com/aminought/firefox-second-sidebar

@aminought I still have no first sidebar added

I prefer to have zero sidebars, full browser width for the web content only. In Firefox I sometimes use (temporary) builtin sidebar for bookmarks.

@Stardust I wouldn't do something like that ... I use Librewolf
