I'm comparing side-by-side on trackpad and I can't detect any difference. If I flick the trackpad at the same speed they will both land roughly in the same place on the page, and the variation, as near as I can tell, is because of…

Reduce Motion in display or accessibility settings I think it’s called. I’m on M1. Just updated FF from the menu. I’m using the trackpad, but again, I changed my system settings, as I don’t like the default speed and acceleration.

I approve (of both the release and the name). I see plenty of folks in here lamenting this release at all - in the hopes that the lack of it will push folks to Firefox. It won't. Those who care about this are already on Firefox, and frankly - Firefox isn't going to be the answer here (to be clear, this is opinion).

I was fully in the Google world prior to gorhill's posts on manifest v3 as a direct result the only thing I have left is a pixel phone, which will be going with the new iPhone (and in the meantime my entire family has been 'helpfully' migrated too) I may be up the extreme end of the distribution, but this sort of grassroots push is what dethroned IE, and the resultant loss of control of the web eliminated Microsoft's…

I'm going to switch to Firefox the second uBlock Origin stops working on Chrome. Otherwise I'll continue to use Chrome because it's a better browser (for me). I don't think I'm some rare minority here.
