I know that switching away from a Chromium based browser would be great, but Firefox just can't compete with the Chromium bookmark system. That was actually the main reason I switched to Brave instead of Firefox a few years back, and from what I can see, Firefox still hasn't changed anything about their bookmark-manager. :/
What do you mean? What is special about brave's or chromiums bookmark manager?
Right what platinum coated bookmarks are they using? Firefox syncs bookmarks, has them organized by folders, has a bookmarks bar, can pin them to the start page, idk what else they need
As I've stated in the other comment, I mainly ment the UI. But there is another feature I like to use, which is the window-specific bookmark manager. I usually keep my browser activities separated with different windows(e.g. one for youtube documentaries and one for learning). With the Chromium manager, I can have one manager-tab per window. That's not possible with the Firefox manager. It's a small thing, but hey, it's convenient.
Then again, the bookmark manager wasn't the only reason I chose Brave over Firefox. If I remember correctly, I had three reasons why I chose Brave in the end:
I would've just put up with point three, but in order to leave the first two, Firefox would have to have other features I really want tu use. And that's the problem - it doesn't have those.
I probably should have specified that I meant the UI. You can do everything in Firefox, but for me, the Chromium UI just looks nicer, it's "cleaner" for me, even if it comes at the cost of having the address-bar in a submenu, for example. Because I use the bookmark-manager quite often, that's a majority points I consider. For 99% of the people, Firefox will do the job just as well as Chromium especially if you just use the bookmarks, not the manager. For some it probably looks even better. It's just preference.
