I would love to switch to Firefox but it still lacks -

* Per-site JavaScript controls (which Chrome has)

* Pinch to zoom (on macOS)

* Customisable keyboard shortcuts for Add-ons (which Chrome has)

* No elastic scroll (bounce effect) (which Chrome has)

I stick with Chrome as it works how I want it to although I find myself using Safari now and then but Safari's extensions are pretty crap in comparison to Chromes.



Customizable keyboard shortcuts for extensions just landed in nightly last week. Expect it soon.


Well god damn! I had no idea. Thank you for replying :)


Smooth pinch to zoom is in development but until it's done I've made an add-on for it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/multi-touch-z...


>Per-site JavaScript controls

It has, but lacks UI.

But extensions (uBO/uMatrix) do that (and more) way better.


> * Pinch to zoom (on macOS)

And Windows!
