Oh I am so excited about this! Where can I follow along with this development?
I recently switched to firefox to give it a try. Does anyone else 2x-3x their video playback and notice the audio distortion in FF on mac? I've tried to find some discussion or workarounds for it, but no dice. Hoping that maybe the renderer in this release might help a little.
The algorithm we use it not the best (and I think it's not the only cause of bad quality here), and we're investigating what to do.

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 70 introduces three new properties related to text decoration/underline: > text-decoration-thickness: sets the thickness of lines added via text-decoration. > text-underline-offset: sets the distance between a text decoration and the text it is set on. Bear in mind that this only works on underlines. > text-decoration-skip-ink: sets whether underlines and overlines are drawn if they cross descenders and asc…
11% coverage, and almost all of that is iOS Safari.
Love Firefox. The philosophy, its snappiness, its many add-ons, the UI. - Glad to have an alternative to Chrome! Keep up the good work, Mozilla & Firefox team.
Many would argue that Chrome is an alternative to Firefox, given that Firefox predates Chrome as the first real viable browser alternative.

On the contrary, I'd say that competition has been good for all involved. For such a maligned language that was born in a little over a week, JavaScript is better and faster than it has any right to be. The amount of resources that have gone into improving JavaScript is amazing. I just wonder what some other languages would look like now with that kind of attention.
Only a week? And I would slap python 3 right on top of that. Despite the language being inherently messy and fully dynamic (similar to js), there are tons of static analysis tools, compilers, alternate run times, IDEs, etc. Edit: the "only a week?" question was genuine, it wasn't meant to be tongue in cheek.

Looks like it was pretty quick but maybe not just one week. Looks like Python was actually considered, but bear in mind that this was 25 years ago. Python 3 certainly wasn't out yet and the available tool ecosystem was much more limited.

Game changer! Now from my POV Firefox is the best desktop browser, period. No caveats.
Is there a good transition path for someone who uses a lot of Google products? In particular, I use Chrome across all my devices, and I depend on the ability to search my history/recent tabs/etc from anywhere. Will Firefox give me the same ability? Is the transition literally just: Install Firefox everywhere and start using it instead?
