    The only thing that’s surprising is that it was there to begin with.

    Anyhow Firefox remains champion.

      I switched back after a decade and don’t regret it. In fact, I love that Firefox (desktop) added automatic-PiP. If you’re playing a video, say on YouTube, and you switch tabs, the video continues in PiP until you go back to that tab. I love it.

        I have 3 monitors, I also watch WAY too much YouTube. This has been one of my favorite things as well, it’s so useful for me.

          Two monitors here, and I totally agree! I was using Brave right before this (I know, I know lol) and originally used a Chrome extension to replicate it. But it was super finicky and only worked like 60% of the time, so I ended up switching. Also a big YouTube watcher, like you.

    The only reason they can so this is their near monopoly on the browser market.

    I remember when Chrome was launched, there was a lot of hype around it, everybody talked about how good and fast it was, I downloaded it, tested it and uninstalled it in 15 min, I didn’t like the UI, and didn’t see the speed advantage everyone was talking about.

      To be fair (I’m also old enough to remember and even still have screenshots of OG chrome on my desktop) –

      Chrome at the time was stupid fast. Like yes we had Firefox, but it was still the era where most people still clicked on the blue “e” and used Internet Explorer. I myself switched from Firefox when there was core feature parity.

      OG Chrome was [comparatively] lean and dumb-fast. But you know, enshittification and feature creep. I also think that Google has changed as a company as time has passed, mostly due to new leadership (e.g. Sundar Pichai).

    Last I read, it was still available on Edge if you must use a Chromium browser. I’m using Firefox, so I can’t/won’t bother confirming that is still the case.
