Am I missing something here? There is no article just a download link correct? I use Firefox exclusively because of the sidebar tab extension and will probably use it until Firefox dies a slow death.
Chrome's "Press Tab To Search" is way too useful for me to switch...
If you forked Chrome, how hard would it be to change it do DRM'd video however Firefox does? I'm not saying forking Chrome would be easy, it's complicated software, I think it would require a lot of labor to keep it competitive over the long term, which is the real barrier. But I'm not sure if the DRM is an insurmountable barrier, Firefox plays that same video somehow , it should be at least theoretically possible to…
You mean stuttering and jerky? I imagine that's a result of not using Google's preferred codec DRM voodoo -- and copying it will just spread the misery, not make it better :(

It would be great if they developed a graph mapping Chrome extensions to Mozilla equivalents. Then the user could confirm installation of the ones with 1:1 parity, like LastPass, allow users to select similar extensions, or skip installing an equivalent.
There are some Chrome-Exclusive extensions that keep me hooked. That and Firefox’s Storage inspector is terrible, there isn’t a native way to clear localstorage during development.
Firefox is back where it was back in like 2005, but instead of fighting IE/Microsoft, it's fighting Chrome/Google. Although now it has a bit more of a checkered record than it once did. Everything old is new again. I really wish Microsoft would open source the Edge/Titan engine. There can't possibly be any NSCA code in there they don't own the rights too anymore.
I really wish that if Microsoft was going to abandon having their own engine that they'd gone to Mozilla instead.
I believe that's why Webkit was based on KHTML… the Mozilla developers Apple hired realized that had a better chance of working.
Maybe Mozilla has changed since all that happened and they're more friendly to embedders now? I've been out of the loop for a few years at this point. I don't think I've heard anything though, and they've built up a reputation…
Firefox mobile + ublock origin is dreamy :)
I don't understand why Mac users use Chrome. Safari seems to be out of fashion: people just assume that it should not be used for some reason, even though it is actually a great browser. I use Safari for both my own browsing and for development (a fairly large ClojureScript application), and it is by far the best browser on the platform by all measures (speed first and foremost). The only place where Safari falls sho…
I have switched on my phone, but desktop thats a pretty harsh trade off.
Does anyone have a good impression about how Firefox's energy consumption compares to Safari's?
Edge is also best (but on Windows).
Usually the browser designed by the authors of the platform you run it on, will be best for power consumption, sometimes significantly so.
Google will keep locking down Chrome and using corporate talk to hand wave it away, only recourse is to leave. First it’s “sign in” with obtuse ways to turn it off. Then block Adblocking, once again with obtuse ways to disable... the end goal is pretty obvious, get the majority of Chrome users to turn on ads and tie their real names to their Chrome browser. Of course let “power users” (who’ll turn that crap off anywa…
« To those who say just fork Chrome adfm had a good article explaining why that doesn’t work: [Chromium, Widevine...] » To my knowledge Widevine DRM works with Chromium. You can watch DRM'd videos: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-install-widevine-on-chrom...
