Firefox Nightly now offers Tab strip (desktop-style tabbing) which is a mojor thing for me. It seems the scaling is now more or less OK when using “Desktop site” and manual font scaling. Drawbacks: The tabs squish when more tabs are added instead of sliding like in Opera. This is problematic with a large amount of tabs open. Also, there’s still no option to permanently enable desktop sites. I have tried setting general.useragent.override, but that breaks the scaling again. It seems there have just been some improvements to “Desktop site” mode. The home tab also doesn’t show up as a separate tab which is weird.
I wish they just kept the old mobile UI. There was even a separate tablet UI.
Have you tried Vivaldi? I know it’s been mentioned already, but they’re run by the original Opera Team, and while not FOSS, seem reasonably non-shady. I haven’t been able to find good Opera Screenshots online so I’m not sure how it compares, but they do have a tab bar on top, and are quite customisable in general.
Here are some Screenshots from the app on my phone:
I tried to give Firefox and Mull a go again.
Mull hasn’t changed.

Yep, like 5 minutes ago. Seems mostly good.


Here’s some screenshots from Opera:
Yes, ironically my keyboard background is AI generated Firefox logo.
Yeah, Opera does look good, but I don’t think Vivaldi’s all that different. Why the Firefoxy keyboard, though? Just aesthetic preference?
