Yay, this is great news. Thanks guys! Nice to not have to revert to Chrome for websocket debugging.
Not mentioned in this article (although it's in the Release Notes [1]): the amazing work done regarding the macOS compositor. This should give pretty noticeable speed and battery improvements on Retina Macbooks. [1] https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/70.0/releasenotes/#new
Would this bring it up to par with safari's power consumption?
Safari 13.0.2 versus Firefox 70.0 versus Chrome 77.0
Playing the same YouTube video at the same quality (1080p) and watching Energy Impact in Activity Monitor while the video played, I saw averages of: Safari used 20, Firefox used 45, Chrome used 45.
So on that task at least Safari is still king, but Firefox is on par with Chrome.
Does anyone know how Firefox Lockwise compares to other password managers? For example, can it store additional notes next to the password?
I use it to sync passwords with my phone. I like that I can use a fingerprint to unlock the file on my phone (instead of passphrase). I used to put silly passwords on sites I didn't care about (variants on a common password), but now I systematically generate a random password for all sites because there is no loss of convenience.
I wonder, why they implemented Baseline JS interpreter in C++? Why not Rust?
Does anyone know if servo is supposed to be related to Firefox in some way, or if it is always meant to be independent?
Wow, blown away by how much better the new password manager is! If they add support for custom fields on each login, this could almost completely replace my need for a 3rd party solution.
Firefox's Lockwise App (on android) leaves a lot demanding though.

It seems there are add-ons for this :-) https://github.com/kimsey0/FirefoxAutoDict
This is the kind of thing that should be built-in instead of Monitor, Pocket, etc. :(

I don't know about other usages, but energy consumption while using YouTube is important to me (usually have something playing while I work) so I just did a quick measurement. Safari 13.0.2 versus Firefox 70.0 versus Chrome 77.0 Playing the same YouTube video at the same quality (1080p) and watching Energy Impact in Activity Monitor while the video played, I saw averages of: Safari used 20, Firefox used 45, Chrome us…
~6,4W average in Safari 13.0.3
~8,6W average in Firefox 70
The one thing that prevents me from switching to Firefox is the spell checker. Like many non-native English people, I'm constantly switching between languages when typing. Chrome is smart with that, and detects the right language sentence per sentence. Is there a way to have FF do this? Did I miss something?
