Edge will soon follow. They announced it. Polly will switch to helium or brave

I cannot count how many things I had to change in settings to get the browser to just work right, I mean I appreciate them locking everything down to the nth degree but.. damn. Finally switched to waterfox, the out of the box experience is a lot friendlier.

Google's going to lengths and bounds to make people leave it.

What's "bloated" about Firefox?

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Distant past. Few of us recall.

nobody ever seems to detail what kinda bloat they mean when they say that, i don't think they actually thought about it that deeply. nobody complains about anything specific like XUL support, for example.

In my experience, there was a period when Firefox crashed all over the place, especially under heavy load. Tabs shared the same process back then, one tab could take down whole the browser session when crashed. I vividly remember how it felt so silky when i switched to chrome. Now I am back to Firefox since 3 years. Firefox is the sexier now with all the shiny addons

Bye Chrome, I hardly knew ya.

I still rock NoScript. It helps avoid drive-bys and other silliness. It does take patience though so I get why not many like it.
