Floorp Browser: Is It The Most Advanced Cross-Platform Firefox Derivative?
======
Let's take a look at another interesting Firefox fork, Floorp.
The way Google has been [stepping up][1] its data collection game, it has prompted many people to opt for [privacy-focused web browsers][2] that respect their privacy by providing a secure browsing experience.
Floorp is one such web browser that I recently came across that claims to be “ _the most Advanced and Fastest Firefox derivative_ ” around.
So, join me as I check out this browser.
### Floorp: Overview ⭐
![][3]
Being **a fork of the popular Firefox browser** , [Floorp][4] was built keeping privacy and user freedom in mind. It is **a cross-platform web browser** that prides itself in being completely open-source and not collecting any kind of personal information.
Some of its **key features** include:
* **Big on Customizability**
* **Support for Workspaces**
* **Robust Anti-Tracking Features**
#### Initial Impressions 👨‍💻
On first launch, it is **easy to get Floorp mixed up with Firefox** , as it looks very familiar. When I first launched it, the usual quick setup wizard popped up that helped me tailor my experience.
It had options such as importing browser data, choosing a template which would tweak the browser with different features, and finally the browser theme.
![][5]
After the initial set up is done, **a neat looking tab page** opens up with a dynamic background that changes whenever you open a new tab. Then, there were the usual shortcuts, and recommended by Pocket elements. But, they can be disabled if you don't prefer having those.
![][6]
The next thing you will notice is **a neat looking sidebar menu** that reminded me of the one found on Vivaldi. It provides similar functionality, with access to things like the bookmarks, history, downloads, notes, and even **a Google Translate WebApp integrated directly into it**.
You can customize the web panel, configure the settings for each icon, change their order, add, and remove options from it. The best part — you can reset all your changes back to the default in a single click, which is sometimes the most helpful feature.
![][7]
There was also the **option to add a custom WebApp** by clicking on the plus symbol around the bottom. You could virtually add any website that has a decent interface using this for easy access while browsing.
![][8]
Not just limited to the web panel, you get flexibility to change the behavior/view of the tabs.
By default, you get a horizontal tab. However, you can opt for a multi-row tab where you get more visibility to your active tabs, making it easy to dabble with multiple tabs.
![][9]
In addition, you can also enable vertical tabs, but it is labelled as an experimental feature:
![][10]
While these work perfectly fine, things like the horizontal-row tabs may not give you the best user experience.
The **tracking protection** is pretty similar to the one you get on Firefox with three different levels; Standard, Strict, and Custom.
![][11]
Floorp also has something called “ **Floorp View** ” that lets you sync tabs from your other linked devices such as smartphones using a Mozilla account.
![][12]
There is **support for multiple workspaces** too, something that Firefox doesn't provide out of the box.
![][13]
Furthermore, you get to assign/change keyboard shortcuts from the settings, which is also a convenient ability:
![][14]
If you have been following all our coverages, you must have noticed that it works similar to the [Gecko Version of Midori][15]. Well, that's because Midori is built as a fork of Floorp and implements many of its features.
So, you can decide on any one of the two as per your preferences.
And, answer the question in the title: **is it the most advanced take on Firefox?**
**Yes, and no**. If you look at the customizability, and abilities you get on top of Firefox, one can say that you can do a lot more with Floorp compared to vanilla Mozilla Firefox.
However, not everyone needs all the options available. So, for some, the additional options may or may not be useful.
