i tried maybe 300 extensions back in the days. Some 30 or so turned out useful enough to keep (for maxthon it was around 60)

today non of these extensions exist and similar things are a joke by comparison lacking the large userbase and years of refinement.

then i also frequently have no idea where most of the interface buttons have gone.

i still use it but im far from locked into the ecosystem.



Honestly at this point I just miss the api that let you get tab-specific history which enabled MouseGestures to show a context menu on right-click scroll-up/down to go forward-back in current tab. It seems like such a minor thing that there's no reason not to support, and such a huge QOL to keep around. I feel the lack of it on a weekly basis like a decade (?) after it was removed, I'm never gonna get used to not having it.
