I have 3 Windows x64 machines:
- i7 6600u | 16GB RAM | Intel HD 520 | Nvidia 940MX
- i7 7700HQ | 16GB RAM | Nvidia 1060 (integrated Intel GPU disabled in BIOS)
- i7 9850H | 32GB RAM | Intel UHD 630 | Nvidia Quadro T2000
Firefox 115 running flawlessly on all of them. No issues, fast and smooth. Same as previous versions.
Been enjoying Edge for a year, but always appreciated FF for it being it’s own thing. Worth a shot?
I use edge at work (nothing else available), Firefox everywhere else.
It would be nice if more add-ons were supported on mobile, desktop is great.
I genuinely think the web has become horrible enough where the browser you use does not really matter from the technical perspective.
It does, however, incredibly important to have more than 1 engine competing, as currently Firefox is the only mainstream browser not built on chromium/google.
Certainly. It’s really important to have as many people as possible using a different browser engine (Gecko) in this Chromium-dominated world.
And … uBlock Origin works the best on Firefox (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox).Firefox was great, went to shit for a couple of years, and is now back to being great again. I’ve heard it’s much easier on memory as well.
It’s one of the few non-chromium browsers left, so you should definitely try it because Google is trying to make their own standards with chromium.
It’s literally the only non-chromium browser left other than Safari. That’s why it is critically important that Firefox maintain a presence
edit: culprit found: dashlane extension for firefox causing latency and high use of resources… dashlane claims they are waiting on mozilla to review their patch submitted 3 weeks ago:
I am not seeing any patch submitted to Mozilla by Dashlane on this bug which looks like it is at an investigation phase, is that in a separate bug?
