Firefox is getting somewhat better at least. Version 50 and up have gotten faster.

>>58551485
It's not fast though

>what is free software

Who ungoogled-chromium master race here

>>58551544

Can you please explain the difference? Not trolling

If Firefox is bloated, then Chrome is an even more bloated botnet.

>>58551487
fast enought for me. I heard than waterfox is faster on Win64
Palemoon/ firefox user here.
Just because It's fast enough for me and full of feature

there are also no good operating systems, computers suck

>>58551590
I'm on Gentoo

>>58551563
Still botnet. Not all of the code has been audited. It's developed too fast.

I dont know if my 6 year old PC is slowing down handling new web standards, but Firefox has been running like shit.
Clean install and everything, no adons.

Such a dick around just to get an extension, I just uninstalled it.

>>58551696
>download extension file
>drop it on extension tab
Wow such a hassle

>>58551653
Actually works great on my shitty laptop, very fast. but I don't see a reason to use it on my main PC.

>FOSS free and open source software.
You can do wath ever you want with it (exept sell it in most of the case, read the more popular licence : GPL, BSD, MIT, Mozzila Licence, ... )
(firefox, chromium, midori)
>freeware
free of charge for the user ( chrome, vivaldi, opera)
>>58551599
Did you try midori ?

>>58551680
I'll give you that point. My graphical fallback option is usually Midori.

>>58551567

Freeware means that you are free to use it without purchasing a license.

Proprietary means you are not free to look at or modify the source code.

Never heard of it, but it looks great. How customizable is it? And is it possible to install extensions?

>>58551776
not the last time I used it, It's very basic.
If I remember well it comes with a adblock.
It's light as fuck to. You may try QupZilla too (same kind of shit).

>it just werks

>>58551776
I've never customized it, nor have I tried to install extensions. It's pretty sane out of the box, but I'm sure that if it were my daily driver, I'd find something that bugs me.

Safari. Built for humans rather than autistic man-children. Fast, clean UI, tab/history/bookmark sync. Extensions. Content blockers. Keychain integration (passwords/credit cards). Apple Pay (secure online payments).

>>58551902
Nonfree

>>58551949
The engine is open source, but the browser chrome is closed source. Still a great browser.

>>58551975
Still nonfree.

Why not use Firefox ESR?

Why do you hate freedom? Get the fuck out of America you dirty commies.

Firefox is king. It's getting better and better with each release.

Stop using problematic patriarchal gendered language, it's against the Mozilla ethos and code of conduct.

>>58551567
It's free as in free beer
but not free as in freedom (or something like that)
basically it just means that you can't view and freely redistribute the source code/a modified version
>>58551641
Every web browser has slowed down with time
and since mozzarella hasn't been focusing pretty much purely on performance it means that old pcs will suffer.
The good news is that servo seems like it's coming nicely.
last I tried it was fast as fuck but destroyed your cpu (even on a good system)

>manifest file is missing
Unpack the extension, make a manifest file, pack it up again

So no JavaScript at all.

>>58551526

Better be trolling nigga.

>>58557936

Yes.

JavaScript is cancer and literally no website """needs'''''' it.

>>58557852
nice arguement, idiot

>>58551585
for years now FF has been much less snappy than chrome. I could not care less about the bloat as long as it does not affect speed. If it wants to use 32GB of ram go right ahead, just never slow down.

>>58558027
Ok

Firefox vs IceCat
updates no updates

Communism not suitable for running a country doesn't mean it doesn't work on things that have no value, like software.
