My favorite part of Firefox is Ublock Origin.
Does the plug get sent to you automatically or do you have to register somewhere?
Google is in the process of undermining the effectiveness of uBlock Origin and other adblockers on Chrome and other Chromium browsers. I believe that change comes into effect this year.
But even before those changes were announced, uBlock Origin’s creator and main dev has stated that uBO is most capable on Firefox.
Does it work flawlessly on Android, iOS, and desktop? I’m really asking, because I ditched Chrome when it was less shitty than it currently is…
All iOS browsers have to use Webkit (or did last time I checked). So there’s not much of a point of running Firefox on iOS. It’s basically the same browser no matter what browser it says it is.
I’m all for people using Firefox instead of Chrome, but RAM being used up shouldn’t be a complaint unless something else needs that RAM. If it’s there, it should be considered usable.
It’s specifically about the efficiency of the usage. If it’s not used effectively, then it really is a waste.
And we all know how efficient the Web is nowadays…
Why could ram usage be a waste? I thought only the allocation is the performance heavy part, allocated ram does not cost extra performance.
they’re right tho
Then use a firefox fork that’s more in line with your beliefs. It’s a pro of open source
I’m never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don’t really care.
Damn… is this why I feel so empty inside? I’m using Firefox but no tail plug or furry action?
do you have time to hear about our lord and savior Firefox with Ublock Origin?
Noscript. Fuck your website and all your fancy functionality.
I want to see static on my screen when I visit.
Firefox uses lots of RAM
And not very efficiently either, can’t seem to handle 99+ tabs and starts getting unstable as you get closer to that number.
Chrome at least can handle 300-600 tabs across 30 windows (The most I’ve ever pushed it) without breaking a sweat
Are you the guy that posted on the Microsoft forums about Edge crashing after 1600 open tabs?
Hell the fuck no, I only ever run a single tab in edge, the tab to download another browser
FUCK edge
Oh whoops, I should close some windows, because I currently have 623 open tabs in Firefox across 107 windows. It’s working fine, even with all my plugins running. Firefox is good at unloading dormant tabs.
They’re probably talking about their experience on their hardware, we don’t know what machine or what version of Firefox they’re talking about. (It’s possible it’s a really old version and not really relevant now or it’s possible their experience is valid for their hardware)
I am not sure what you can possibly expect of any program. That is absurd.
