I want regex find. I'm fairly certain firefox used to have it, but no longer seems to.

I have a vague memory of this but it might have been an extension.

A limit of data that can be used daily and we can track how much data we consume.

A little discrete “progress bar” at the bottom of the toolbar would be cool to see in the blink of an eye where I am on my daily limit.

That would also look cool, aesthetically speaking

I’m still looking for the browser with the best tab design and management (sync across devices being a requirement). Arc was pretty good in this regard, but the AI stuff was too obnoxious for me. Now I’m back to Safari.

As an addition to the translation tool (context menu in Firefox) it would be nice to have a conversion tool for the conversion of temperatures and lengths. I know there are addons for this purpose, but last time i checked they weren’t good or they were a hassle to use. Opera nailed it a few years ago with a little pop-up window when text got highlighted. It recognized when it was a SI unit. This is a feature that I have not seen in any other browser yet.

Blacklist-based ad blocking.

I don’t mind ads when they’re reasonable. If it helps fund your website at all, advertise away. But when there’s a sticky banner plus an autoplay video ad reducing my mobile viewport to a ridiculous degree, and the X buttons are too small to click and ad loading completely breaks the search bar until it’s done (hi fandom wiki) I want to be able to say “fuck these ads in particular”
