Firefox is ideal for users who are tech-proficient and eager to customize their browsing experience to meet exactly their needs. It is best for people who are very contemplative and thoughtful about their experience of using web browsers and want more than an out-of-the-box or clunky experience offered by pre-loaded browsers.

I believe that Shift is suitable for everyone, even those with only one email account. Just being able to group email, along with Messenger, WhatsApp, and other apps, together is, in itself, a productivity hack. I have already recommended it to some of my other business owner friends.

  • The browser doesn't always work. Some websites refuse to load, and others time out too quickly. It is not as strong or robust a web browser as Chrome.
  • Unread counts are not always accurate.
  • I wish I could set up Google Suite products as separate workspaces.

Usability

It can do anything I throw at it. It does not slow down. I cannot remember it ever crashing. Updating is super easy. It's colorful enough to find what I need visually. I can customize the look to make it super usable and fast with muscle memory precision. It's by far easier to use than any other browser.

I have no issues with use, and I use it every day.

Its basically been great. In 3 years I had one issue of repeated crashes which was fixed with a version change and an issue where slack wouldn't load after a slack update but that fixed within a few weeks

Its pretty performant on my GPU based laptop as it can use the hardware to accelerate processing. However it is memory hungry. If I had a normal amount of RAM on my laptop I wouldn't imagine it would be a little slower

I have only had to use their support a couple of times, but was able to get an answer and things resolved within a couple of hours. There was no issue with contacting them, received responses and updates in a timely manner and they were able to resolve the small issues we had. It was a pleasure to work with them

I was completely satisfied with the implementation of Shift, rating it a 10. The process was straightforward and required minimal effort to get started. Key insights include the importance of pre-configuring the app with essential tools and accounts for the team to ensure a smooth transition. Shift’s intuitive setup and integration process allowed us to onboard quickly without disrupting workflows. Additionally, its user-friendly design made it easy for team members to adapt without extensive training.

Mozilla Firefox stacks up very well alongside similar products. There has not been a feature I have needed that a similar product had that was lacking from Mozilla Firefox. The product has been developed very well and updates have been effective at maintaining security. I have been a long-time user of Mozilla Firefox and have no reason to change.

I used to use a similar product called Station. In all honesty, Station was better but was discontinued. Shift is the nearest equivalent and works just as well. Station was free, Shift is an annual payment so I have peace of mind it's more likely to be around for the long term.
