Well, he's 20 now. And he's stuck with it for four years? That's pretty impressive.
Still young; he's probably still a student. People react differently to negative criticism, of course, but to some it can be devastating.
I'm assuming the largely useless animation on the homepage is meant to make Chrome or Firefox start eating CPU and increase the perceived need for a new browser? I opened the tab, walked away for two minutes and came back to a hot and angry Chrome on my MBP.
The actual reason is you're an Apple hipster. On a proper desktop PC, Chrome doesn't get hot and hungry. Ever.
Aw, snap.

I'm always interested by alternative 'Foxes, but I'm intrigued as to why the installer is about 25MB bigger than Firefox. What's in there that makes it a 50% bigger installer?
ICL creates huge libraries, especially with all the flags I use (-O3 -no-prec-div -Qparallel -arch:SSE3 -QaxCORE-AVX2,CORE-AVX-I,AVX,SSE4.2,SSE4.1,SSSE3). XUL generated like this is about 150MB (and for comparison offical Firefox XUL DLL is about 37MB)!

It can be for compute bound processes compiled on and for the latest Xeon servers. But, for end user apps with syscalls everywhere, I don't think the difference is notably different.
Hmmm, I don't think there are many syscalls in the Firefox rendering engine.
> "Finally found an alternative to @firefox that supports Adobe Flash without all the errors - @Waterfoxproject works just wonderfully :)" ...no thanks, unless they want to share details of their sandboxing tech.
I wonder what "all the errors" are that affect Flash on Firefox. Being derived from Firefox, why would Waterfox have better support for Flash?

You should try using something non-mainstream "Always a pleasure to count the number of clicks needed before you can establish that the only platforms are Linux, Mac and Windows."
Once you get obscure enough it becomes easy though. Generally anything that bothers to support Haiku and QNX mentions it. I think FreeBSD is definitely the sweet spot for counting clicks.

Explains why it barely handles my hundreds of bookmarks, though. Maybe I need to rewrite that part in native code haha.
It seems a joke but is also, sadly, a fact. Chrome bookmarks manager is lightspeed if compared to Firefox, to not mention total lack of usability on Firefox's part, so 1995.
