I don't know. I haven't used Opera since the 1990s. I fully expect most people will share my view.
most people will say "What's Opera?"

Oh interesting. Firefox still seems slow and a bit of a memory hog compared to Chrome on my machine. Sure enough I checked and three add-ons are marked as legacy (and presumably disabled the multiprocess stuff): uBlock Origin, Websocket Disabler, and NoScript.
At least uBlock Origin is compatible with multi-processes. I'm using it right now. Firefox 55 marks classic extensions as legacy, this has nothing to do with multi-process comparability.
Yep, not legacy, but "not compatible with multiprocess" is what it should show for offending addons.

#333To add to the list: * You can run the uBlock Origin on Firefox for Android: https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-US/android/addon/ublock-origin... Afaik there's no ad-blocking extension for Chrome for Android which I find pretty telling. I'm using Firefox on Android and the ad-blocking (less traffic, less blink-blink animations and less CPU consumption) make mobile browsing a night-day difference
There's no extensions on Android Chrome, and the reason is simple: if they enable extensions, people will mostly install ad blockers and that's bad for business at Google
Google is in the process of allowing some adblocking in Android Chrome.

That doesn't seem related to the topic unless I'm missing it. Also it has nothing to do with browsers or Chrome vs Firefox

Ahh see, I didn't even know it was a company.

I guess you would lose some of your remaining market share to chrome and wonder how much smaller your revenue is going to be when the yahoo deal expires?
> I guess you would lose some of your remaining market share to chrome So, you're saying that: - some people kept using Firefox because it had more powerful extensions than Google Chrome. - these people are upset because mozilla is breaking the old extensions in favor of a less powerful alternative (still better than Chrome's, that the main point of the OP) - then people are going to move to Google Chrome which still…
Most users aren't developers they aren't judging the relative power of extension systems they just are liable to notice useful extensions going away.
Firefox on Linux seems to me to be slower and crappier save for interesting extensions.
Enough so that I've just decided to ditch Firefox even before interesting extensions go south.

Which version of Firefox is that? It recently became much faster, and is set to see yet another improvement with version 57 (due in three months, I believe).
Firefox 54.0.1 on macOS 10.12.6. Firefox says it's up-to-date.
Alright, that's supposed to already be a lot better (although, as said, it will get even better). You might want to check about:support, and see what it says next to "Multiprocess Windows". If that's disabled, then you won't see the speedups from 54 (and it will usually give a hint about why it's disabled).

Well, how can one determine which addons are multi-process compatible?
Re: uBlock Origin Maintainer on Chrome vs. Firefox WebExtensions
#338I would love to use Firefox for it's privacy credibility, the Awesome Bar and to prevent monopolization of the Web. Unfortunately 2017 is the year of the CPU usage apocalypse on the Web. Go to this insane Guardian page, scroll down a page, and observe what happens for a minute or two perhaps scrolling down some more: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/aug/10/adele-vocal-cor... The numbers keep jumping around a lot…
Incidentally, I changed from Firefox 32bit to 62bit today, and the page loads like a dream.

Tab Outliner does all of that and more as far as I can tell. I'm certainly happy using it.
Perhaps the biggest reason I use Firefox is for Tree Style Tabs. I've tried to find something equivalent in Chrome. I installed Tab Outliner briefly, and honestly, I couldn't figure out what the heck it was trying to do. Maybe my mental capacity is too limited, but as far as I could tell it didn't get me one iota closer to my goal. What I've settled on, for the times when I need to use Chrome, is an external helper a…
It's certainly not obvious, I'd agree with that. It's a kind of a hybrid of tabs, sessions and bookmarks as far as I use it.
