That's great. But what if I now want to log in to the same site from my iPhone?

#143Firefox + Mozilla are awesome. I still have a Mozilla 1.0 t-shirt from the first release party! I've recently seen a ton of FF fans state that the reason they love Firefox is that it doesn't have ads or track you and preserves your privacy. However, Firefox wouldn't exist without Google and (to a lesser extent, Google Chrome). They make 94% of their revenue via bundling and distribution deals with companies like Goog…

These are unrelated issues, though. A connection, financial or otherwise, to Google, does not mean that users aren't getting a browser that prioritizes privacy.

Oh, please. You make it sound like Mozilla is equivalent to Facebook. Is that a smear campaign ?
You can donate to the Mozilla foundation. Have you ? Have you convinced your company or your friends to do so ?
Because that's a better alternative than outright singling Mozilla out for their ties to Google. Which last time I checked didn't make the user the product of Google like Chrome or Android does.

> we see users just outright refusing to pay
I’m not convinced this is true. Surveillance/Market insight/whatever is just too lucrative.
There’s plenty of examples of company’s that make a living by charging for a service but for a company like facebook, for example, excluding users runs counter to their whole business model.
“Charging” customers is hassle. If you can find a way to monetise without all that icky hassle, you will.

#147I am not a Firefox user but know that matching Webkit performance on macOS is going to be very hard. So just fired a test on my Macbook Air - Safari 13 vs Firefox 70. Opened top 10 links from techmeme. Both windows in background. Firefox 70: Energy use 30-200; CPU 20-25%; Threads 82 Safari 13: Energy use 0.1-5; CPU 2-5%; Threads 11 If this is to celebrate I can only imagine what the things looked like before this rel…
> this means that my battery is going to last 4-5x longer with Safari Well it might last 4-5x longer if you run safari in the background, since that is what you tested. But wouldn't the real test be running both browsers as the active window and comparing those results? One thing that Safari is incredibly good at (and its' engineers are proud of) is the ability to reduce resource consumption for non-active tabs and w…

No matter what you're doing, all but one of your tabs will be in the background at any given moment.

#148Not 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
Trying it out and it absolutely flies!!

What is actually disingenuous is equating the search deals to anything Google, like making adblocking harder and downright impossible on mobile
Re: Firefox 70
#150Earlier quoted context omitted.
The same here. Have you tried with FF add-ons that normally are the culprit for CPU hogging?
Yeah, they're all on. Seems to be fine thus far, and there's an article about what they actually did to fix it, so I'm ready to say it's fixed. Only minor gripe is userChrome.css seems to not be used now.
You need to enable it in about:config
Set this option to true: toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
