How do you use firefox? Once I get to the amount of tabs that I have to scroll through them I find it pretty necessary to close tabs otherwise the duplicates get out of hand
The Sidebery extension is the key, for me. Tabs are vertical, hierarchical, and searchable.
I also set the color of specific tabs (another Sidebery feature) that have some special returnability reason. I don't love the color options, nor the default ordering (would prefer the more traditional color spectrum order (red-blue or inverse) so that I could infer the tag/priority/etc from the color, but I only use a few colors and it's fine.
I don't have a problem with duplicates. If it's a page/app that I return to often, I know that and just jump to it. I'm sure I have some dupes hiding in there though. NBD.
So apart from the ad blocker, that's ... features, smoother, better. What?
Edit: I'm not trying to be rude (it comes naturally). But you just explained "great" as "better, with more". I guess smooth might mean faster, which might be because it isn't doing ads and tracking. It seems to come back to third-party being the crucial difference, and "app" not mattering.
How did you find this? Do you inspect element every article you read? I wonder how you would test if this works because I would add it to my website if it does.
I use Brave browser's Speedreader for reading articles, which rendered the dragon line to me as the first sentence, hence why I took a look at the HTML source.
