The issue I have with Mozilla is that they seem too technical focused. They do stuff like Rust which must be an incredible investment of time.
If you're going to make a new browser engine from scratch, why not use a language that already exist? I understand there's reasons but stuff like that is just wtf imho.
Also, they've done stuff like Firefox Hello, that login thing etc. Many were good ideas but they should really focus on their core product and making it solid as a fucking rock. I still feel that Chromes developer tools are better, that Chrome is snappier and doesn't crash as often etc. etc.
I use Chrome at my work computer but Firefox at home because Chrome developer tools is still better when it comes to stuff like debugging, viewing json and profiling.
I mean why is that not more awesome in Firefox?

All of your complaints are technical. > They do stuff like Rust which must be an incredible investment of time. Rust is a very small team. > If you're going to make a new browser engine from scratch, why not use a language that already exist? Because no language other than Rust offers good support for safe concurrency and memory safety without performance compromises. > I understand there's reasons but stuff like that is just wtf imho. > Many were good ideas but they should really focus on their core product and making it solid as a fucking rock. The desire to do that is the reason for Rust.
- staticelf 9y agoOkay, well I hope the best for the new engine. Can't wait untill it's actually deployed live into normal Firefox builds. I love Firefox and I really like Mozilla (even though they like everyone else does stupid stuff sometimes, like fireing Brendan). I hope Firefox will take back some market share from Chrome.
