The only thing I find Firefox inferior over Chrome is Webgl support. Specifically browser-based games.

Although they are playable on Firefox, they play much more smoother on Webkit and it's sister, Chromium.

Like let us say you get 90fps on Webkit or Chromium, in Firefox you get around 50-60fps. That kind of difference which to gamers, may find off putting.

Well what do you expect when all of a sudden they started making their own browser over contributing to Firefox.

The entire reason why Chrome was created was for Google to push the web forward at their own pace. Away from the previous iteration that heavily relied on browser helper objects (plugins).

Here we are though, Google having a huge influence over the spec. Mainly because the competition weeded out to only Firefox remaining.

Sure, Edge might be considered competition for Google, but at the end of the day, Edge, Opera (unfortunately), Vivaldi, Brave, and similar browsers are essentially Chrome reskins.

PS: I am considering Edge as a competition for Google as Microsoft is well known for being EEE (Extend, embrace, extinguish). But more importantly, they have the man power to maintain their own fork if things do get out of hand.

Just this week or was it last week, I made a comment on some post that putting privacy aside, we should still be encouraging people to use Firefox instead of any chromium browsers to break control. It is good to see that right now I am just given a very good example why Chromium being a monopoly allows Google to control the spec (even if other companies are on board)

This PR nails it

App.

At the moment, I just use Connect on my phone and Wefwef/Voyager on Desktop (I access it via Firefox Sidebar)

On top off my head is the old non UWP version of Photoscape which I use from time to time to do basic edits.

Then Finale notepad for music transcribing stuff

I use to use MSOffice 2007 but recently I have switched to OnlyOffice

Although most of them, or atleast what I know off, are made for older version of windows

Sounds like a plan! Time to log in on my Reddit account.... wait... oh.... right 😏

@[email protected] The amount of RAM Firefox consumes depends on several factors. It could be due to a misbehaving browser extension, a website issue (I remember Firefox eating a lot of memory when I stay on YouTube for too long, with that browser tab taking up around 8GB, and I only noticed it because my system warned me about low memory, even though I have 32GB of RAM), or the number of tabs you have open.

If you encounter this issue (when it uses 10GB of RAM), try opening a new tab and enter "about:memory" in the URL bar. Then click on "Show memory details" to get a comprehensive breakdown of each process and its RAM consumption. If you prefer a simpler view, you can use "about:processes" instead of "about:memory."

This is incredible! It even has the Sega logo in it. Thanks 😁

I was originally an Opera user (back when it was using Presto) back in the day, but I switched to Firefox during the last moments of the Presto engine. When Presto died, I worried a bit about the state of other browser engines, but I didn't worry about it too much because I never thought Microsoft would use Chromium with their Edge browser. Yet, here we are.

Putting privacy concerns aside, we should encourage the use of Firefox because it helps promote browser engine diversity. The more diverse browser engines we have, the better it is for us, especially when it comes to innovation. I mean, it may be a bit different than the era of Internet Explorer, but since Google is leading the Chromium project, who knows what could happen.

They might remove a particular feature that was once very useful for whatever reason, and we could end up just accepting it because we can't do anything about it.

There is no followup yet after his threats unfortunately

When will musk start suing twitter-like apps like Threads, Blue sky, Mastodon and etc just for the 🤡 points

If you are using Firefox, there is an addon that allows you to install websites as apps with isolated settings, cache, cookies and everything with the default Firefox profile (So even if you decide to clear browsing history, your apps will not get affected)
