Switched my browser from ungoogled Firefox to ungoogled Chromium

>>57853087
it's also broken because every other https site gets blocked due to some certificate bug

>>57853121
Yeah I noticed that too.
I had to use a separate browser to initially connect to public networks (Train station, Starbucks, etc. I commute a fair bit for uni and work).
Whereas on Chromium it allowed me to still connect to them properly.

Also, since Chromium is such a pain in the ass on Windows what's a good alternative that's still ungoogled/ungooglable?

On my Windows Machine I'm using Waterfox at the minute.

>>57853199
>Chromium is such a pain in the ass on Windows
Is that so? Maybe you should try Iridium, Vivaldi, Opera then?

>>57853439
Opera and Vivaldi are slow as fuck man.
Seriously, I tried both a couple of weeks ago and it was worse than FF.
I've not tried iridium however. How is it for extension support?
Things like uBlock, uMatrix, Disconnect, etc.

>>57853496
Should really have no problems installing Chrome extensions on Iridium desu

>>57853529
looks decent enough to me. I like some of the features/changes from Chromium.

>>57853087
Why would I leave Firefox when I am perfectly happy with it?

And chrome isn't faster at all. It also has disgusting memory management problems compared to Firefox

Waiting for an ungoogled chromium PKGBUILD, then I'll switch right over

>>57853615
Perhaps on Windows but on my linux machine I seem to be using less RAM since switching.

Also I'm not using Chrome, I'm using Chromium. From my albeit semi-limited understanding, it has a lot stripped from it that Chrome comes with by default.

>>57853087
UnGoogled Chromium is outdated and buggy, refer to https://chromium.woolyss.com/ for updated builds, mainly the RobRich and Nik ones.

>>57853087
In Firefox you can sort BOTH bookmarks and history by Name, Tags, Location, Most Recent Visit, Visit Count, Description, Added and Last modified.

In Chromium you can't sort history and you can only sort bookmarks by Title(Name).

So sure, I if I only use a browser for 4chan and facebook then I'd use Chromium.

>>57853087
>Why haven't you left Firefucks yet /g/?

Because Windows 7 has shitty fonts. So I have to install MacType.

But MacType doesn't work with the new version of Chromium. Because the Chromium dev team have disabled the ability to disable directwrite. Like the cunts they are.

So I have to go to Firefox because it still lets you do that. So I can use Firefox and still have decent looking fonts.

Firefox Nightly and Developers Edition from 52.0 onwards ALSO disable the ability to disable directwrite.

What the fuck is up with this? Why do developers have to be such assholes?

>>57854808
This is super helpful. To clarify by 'ungoogled' that was me not knowing any better and meaning I'm using the latest version of Chromium for Arch with a bunch of extentions. Hence the reason I also said 'ungoogled firefox'

I'm actually using that exact version of Chromium (v55.0.2883.75)

>>57854842
That's really not an issue for me. I always found navigating the history browser cumbersome. If I want to find something I'll search for it.

>>57854853
I'm not really sure I can provide much of an opinion on this one anon I like the fonts well enough.

>>57853087
No Vimperator.

>>57853199
Install chocolatey and install chromium from there

>>57855676
Also not an issue for me since I literally started learning how to use VIM today.

>>57855686
wtf is Chocolately?

I switched from chromium to firefox cuz chromium's memory leaks were driving me crazy, FF is a bit slower though.

>>57855728
Chromium 55 seems to be pretty stable. At least on my Arch machine.

I'll see how it is on Winders tomorrow.

Firefox is absolutely terrible these days.
For media streaming, i can't even use Firefox anymore. Fucking Edge kicks its arse. Edge! Of all fucking things.

>>57855804
Sure it is. You're the one that has to deal with manually updating it.

>>57855793
I've tried 4chanx. Didn't see any features I cared about. If it allows me to smooth the fonts in Chromium I would try it again.

>>57854853
Are you able to use them with Pale Moon?

>>57855846
If you force enable multi-process and set your process count to at least 12 you will see a pretty big improvement in performance.

>>57855862
Haven't tried but it is possible.

What I need to find is a Chromium fork that still lets you disable directwrite.

>>57855848
That never bothered me.
They do have an update fetcher now though.

Stylechan>>>>Oneechan

>>57855972
How so?
I'm genuinely curious. I only use Oneechan because it's the first thing I came across and I haven't bothered looking into anything else since Oneechan does everything I want it to.

>>57855994
It's not abandoned.

I honestly can't remember any difference between the two, but 4chan has been using less memory since I switched, but I can't speak to causality.

>>57856045
Huh.
Fair enough.
I'll check it out in a little bit.
I'm always a sucker for better performance.

>>57856076
You should be able to import you oneechan presets too.

>>57856164
That makes life much easier.

>>57855972
>>57856164
Ok so first impressions:
No mascots. Not a dealbreaker but I did like that feature.
Doesn't support loading system fonts either.
The fonts do look nicer though.

>>57855793
thanks, also why doesn't /g/ work on it.

>>57856410
What do you mean?

>>57856427
like help the project out and release a new more non buggy verison of ungoogled chromimum

>>57856457
Oh right. You mean the people of /g/
Because anyone that browses 4chan, especially /g/ is a self-entitled cuck that would rather spend their time pointing out the flaws of something than actively helping to make it better.

Not only that but it's semi-pointless since there a fair few Chromium clones and forks all with the same aim. The only one that seems to be making any real progress is Iridium.

>>57853087
you would be better off using Ghost Browser

>>57857027
Any particular reason

>>57853615
>management problems

Making every tab its own process isn't a "problem", it's a feature. It doesn't make it use more memory, idiot.

In reality there are probably very few people on this board capable of actually making any significant contributions to projects like Ungoogled Chromium even if they were paid to do so, let alone to give up their own free time doing so when their efforts are likely to be for almost naught.

Mouse gestures redox.

I require rocker gestures that start with a middle click.

>>57859328
>>57860873
Why do you hate women?

>>57860873
Yeah, I got annoyed of chromium's scrolling on 4chan but I might switch back because Firefox still bloats despite multi process.
>>57862396
I don't, its just not firefox related.

- tab bar not scrollable
- can't set it to load tabs upon view
these are a deal-breaker, makes chromium utterly unusable

I ran Firefox since I built my 5930k win7 system. After all the extensions I loved finally migrated to chrome but one I decided to give it up

I used chrome at work forever but never at home

FUUUUK its so much faster as a person that does far out of the ordinary super heavy browser usage its better than FF hands down just for the quarantined tabs crashing

>>57853087
can't deal with chrom(e)iums shitty backwards ass tab management. If I'm working on something, I often have a lot of tabs open.

With chromium, after like 10 minutes I have no idea what tab contains what, I can just see the stupid fucking favicon which then dissappears altogether after like 20 minutes (keep opening tabs etc).

>>57859328
>dropped

Like 75% of the reason of why I still use Firefox is because Classic Theme Restorer lets me put my tabs below the address bar. FUCK having tabs on top.

What you /g/uys think about Iridium?

>>57853087
No tab groups
No tab load on demand
No ui editing
Chrome is only good for light casual browsing

>>57853087
I've been running regular Firefox since like 2008 with some basic extensions. What am I missing out on?

>>57853087
My reasons:
Addons:
FireGestures (no Chrome-based mouse gestures addon is as versitile)
Save My Tabs (incrementally automatically backup all your tabs)
Tree Style Tab (can't inb4 this addon, you new to the Internet or something?)

Currently running 337 tabs. Can Chrome do this? Didn't think so.

Also, Firefox (Aurora, actually) is comfy, whereas Chrom* is not.

>>57862155
>Closing Firefox releases all the memory
>Closing Chrome only releases a tiny bit
Proof that Firefox has better memory management. I can't stand softwares that still holds memory after closing them.

>suggesting cent browser
>freeware shit based on an open source project
epic

also I don't know why, but ungoogled chromium is the fastest version of chromium I've had. Tried the latest chromium and chrlauncher and both always worked like shit, even the UI lagged(example: when you move tabs around the top bar)
too bad every other site has the https bug

>>57853087
>it's this thread again
Because Firefox is better.

>>57867743
Currently, just over 1GB, but I have multiprocess set to 3, and as I'm using Aurora, multiprocess works with addons.

>all that bullshit
Yeah, try opening 337 tabs in Chrome, and see how well the browser runs after several hours.

Mozzarella's support page has ZERO useful info on why the fuck their bullshit browser's using a 90% of my RAM; it just keeps getting higher and higher
All that's working is Privacy Badger, Noscript and HTTPS Everywhere.
At first I thought it as adblocker shit, so I just updated my hosts file and disabled it, again with this shit, im tired already; this shit should be illegal

>>57868164
Why is it using so much memory? It's using a tiny fraction of the memory on my computer. How much do you have? 1GB?

Why are you using those 3 addons? I've never needed privacy badger, what does it do and why should you care to have it installed?

Why are you using NoScript? NoScript is so 2014, uMatrix is the new best thing.

Why are you using HTTPS Everywhere? It does tend to break websites.

Where is your uBlock Origin? Why are you using so few addons? I use 20+ addons and Firefox takes less than 20% of my computer's memory.

>>57853087
Yes, Firefox is horrible. That is precisely why optimization is on high priority for Firefox this next year.
They're going to implement much of the stuff and concepts from servo.

However, knowing firefox, they could neither beat chrome in features OR performance.
When they start focusing on performance now, they'll probably fall behind drastically in new web standards.

Also firecucks, why the fuck do you STILL not support the HTML5 input types for dates and color? Do you have any idea how troubling this is for everyone else?

>>57868296
On an older thinkpad, I have 4; kinda lazy to install more.
FF begin at 400mb and after use get to 1.8gb with only the newtab open and I don't understand what it keeps cached and where, I don't understand the about:memory page much. Trying other setting it about:config now.
I've had only one site broken from httpserywhere;
uBlock definitely impacts the ram usage. The few things not covered by the hosts file are yt ads, fb sponsered ads and gmail ads.

Why are you using so many addons? I just want relative privacy, safe and fast browsing, no clutter.

Not abs. sure what exactly I did, but with the newer setting I started ff at 300mb, just open 4-5 sites browsed on each one, closed them all and it was already 750; the recommended RAMback addon did just about shit-all.
These were the settings before; any of you guys care to comment and share your knowledge without stooping to 'get more RAM'?

>>57868476
Among others:
FireGestures (if you're not using some form of mouse gestures, you're doing it wrong)
Google Image Search (have you ever needed to reverse search an image? For me, it's every day, quite often multiple times a day)
Greasemonkey (if you're not using scripts, you'r doing it wrong)
I don't care about cookies (if you live in or near the EU, you need this)
Image Search Options (iqdb reverse image search, enough said)
Open With (I don't watch YouTube in my browser, I use Baka Mplayer so that I can speed up video playback, and the Open With addon makes it easy to link to external players)
Save My Tabs (Incrementally automatically backup your tabs. Have you ever lost tabs? I have, it only tends to happen once every other year, but when you have 100+ tabs and suddenly they're all gone, this is a saving grace)
Space Next (ala Opera Presto)
Tab Mix Plus (again, if you don't have this installed on Firefox, you're doing it wrong)
Tree Style Tabs "
uBlock Origin (Hosts file is no substitute for this)
uMatrix (the best script blocker available currently)

Do I even have to elaborate further as to why I use these?

Mind you, I'm using Aurora, not Firefox. Sounds like your profile is fucked. Delete your entire installation, install Aurora, and you should be good to go.

>>57868631
Mouse gestures- what for, I use keyboard and thinkpad nipple.
Reverse image search I use maybe once a month. duckduckgo bangs allow easy access to most sites
greasemonkey- scripts, really?
You're right about the cookies thing
I've never lost a tab and I hate have more than a few open.
no clue
had it, didn't like it,
don't like it
99% it is even a better substitution
uMatrix- thought it was supposed to be hard to get into. Will get it sooner or later.

I used aurora before, smartass, I've used nightly, as well. They all swelled up. And the differences minor if any barely significant between the stable release and those. Mind you, I'm not a fedora-wearing gtard. Just asking, if anybody here knows.
I remember chromium years ago eating up my ram, too. Can't remember opera's performance. Iceweasel or FrostyFox or whatever the stable FOSS firefox was- I had some comfort issues with it, can't remember.
There's gotta be something I've fucked or that is shitty by default in the settings somewhere.

Ok can anyone help me.

How do I install the woolyss/Nik versions with chrlauncher?

Thinkpad - this is a laptop. You're telling me that you don't use a USB mouse, you actually use the touchpad or keyboard button? That's the equivalent of using a joystick on a computer. Retarded.

Since 4chan alone has a lot of images I need to reverse image search, I don't see how anyone who visits this site could get away with using reverse image search only once a month.

Yes, scripts. Really. Are you a power user or a casual. Sounds like the latter.

If you have having more than a few tabs open, then sounds like you're definitely not a power user.

The rest of your post is just inane comments like "no clue" - I suggest you get a clue then.


>>57869031
>What do you use gestures for? Curious, since I never really used it and never felt a need for it.
Power user? Oh, you're a casual. Never mind then. Two basic things you could consider using gestures for: drag right = open new tab, drag left = re-open last closed tab, and drag down on an image = save image as

>Doesn't TabPlus have its own crash backup?
It's not an incremental automatic tab backup that would survive anything short of full disk failure though.

>Never heard of either
If you've never heard of Opera Presto then either you're a major casual, or underage ban.

>meh
Yes, because you're a filthy casual who probably uses 10 tabs at most. Try 100+ tabs, and you will actually find this addon useful.

Ctrl-F12

Never used Opera in my life and I was underage by 1 year when 4chan was made.

>>57870750
>Ctrl-F12
Carefully pressing two keyboard keys vs simple mouse gesture. Which is faster? Mouse gesture, every time.
