stop following for memes and re-download Firefox, anon

>>61069251
Waterfox. Drop-in replacement for memezilla and is continuing support for "classic" add-ons for a while.

Or be a man and get Pale Moon.

>>61068269
thats because they expect their users to read.

>>61068316
He can't since that is a 2012 meme

>>61068198
I was Pale Moon v2.7.30 until 2 days ago, then I downloaded Firefox 55 and it's flying. 720p60 videos on Youtube doesn't lag anymore too, it's been working like a dream.

Netrunner will kill most of these

It's jist so comfy, kinda bloated but not that much, and the main developer, Florian, is really dedicated to it.

Yet still, Firefox decides to shit the bed and fucks up more and more websites every week.

I would use Chrome, but 1. botnet 2. It takes like 10 addons to remotely have it behave it like I want to, for instance no history, but a button to restore recently closed tabs in the current session or an option view images in the same tab

The last release of Firefox has major performance enhancements.

>written in C
Why not Rust? It would allow wider contribution without security-impacting memory bugs and piggybacking on the work already done with Servo. Don't get me wrong, I love C, but from a practical standpoint building a whole new browser from scratch is a massive undertaking.

Waterfox. I've been lost since Opera went to shit. Vivaldi sucks. They all suck and I don't care to pay attention to it anymore.

>>61083156
>For daily use I will use Edge
hahahahaha

Waterfox is great but using vpns on it suck ass

For example let's say I want to use a vpn to watch, say the Dodgers through mlb at bat, I would need go keep the vpn on throughout the game without a single hiccup otherwise the entire feed lags and becomes virtually unwatchable. So I can't just turn the vpn on then once the feed loads turn off the vpn


It isn't just live streaming but proxies in general suck ass on Waterfox

>>61076058
Damn, my six year old computer runs firefox with zero issue with dozens of tabs open and the computer running for weeks at a time with no memory shitting.

I get it now... it's all memes or everyone's a poorfag. Redpilled.

>>61093164
Yeah, Firefox is still the /g/ choice whether they admit it or not. Shit like waterfox and other forks are outdated, lack timely security updates, and make your online identity incredibly unique--which effectively makes it far easier for websites to fingerprint you. NOT TO MENTION not gaining the performance gains from each official FF update, AND forks like Pale Moon dont even support quite a damn few of the most popular Firefox extensions.

I really see no benefits in forks at all, personally. I just use Firefox most of the time, and switch over to Chromium (latest stable build) for different use cases and tasks.

I use Iceweasel on Parabola. Tweaked according to privacytoolsio (except for cookies but SDC takes care of that), pretty safe I'd say.
