Review Summary
Users appreciate that the Open in Firefox™ Browser extension reliably allows opening tabs or links from Chrome to Firefox, supporting cross-browser workflows across multiple OS platforms. However, many find the installation process complex and not straightforward, involving manual script installations. Some users report issues running it on Chrome OS or Chromebook devices and incomplete functionality with certain web apps and PWAs. Despite minor bugs and update-related setbacks, most users find it useful and effective once set up, especially for those managing multiple browsers.
Pros
- Works as expected, doing exactly what it promises.
- Allows opening links or tabs from Chrome in Firefox, useful for managing web apps or specific browsing needs.
- Supports multiple operating systems including Windows, Linux (Ubuntu, Linux Mint), and MacOS.
- Open source and transparent, increasing user trust.
- Enables using Firefox for specific tasks while maintaining Chrome for others, improving multi-browser workflows.
Cons
- Installation process is somewhat complicated and not user-friendly, often requiring manual steps and command-line usage.
- Lacks full functionality in some environments, e.g., doesn't work well on Chrome OS/Chromebooks or in some Linux distributions without extra setup.
- Some features like context menu options are not customizable or hard to manage (e.g., removing options).
- Sometimes doesn't work perfectly with certain web apps or PWAs, opening only interface elements but not links.
- Occasional functionality issues after updates or with specific browser configurations (e.g., bookmarks, ProtonMail PWA).
