Which would be a shame, now that Firefox is (IMHO) better than Chrome, once again :)

- snaky 9y agoAre you kidding? It's like "Blackberry is better than iPhone once again, finally losing the keyboard". The main and only distinctive feature of Firefox was programmability (XUL, XPCOM), and now it's gone. There are forks like PaleMoon and Waterfox though but for how long. Firefox had to take that app-platform niche (thanks to XUL, XPCOM) that now occupies Electron, but failed on that chasing after Chrome.
- minitech 9y agoNo, it’s not like that at all. Firefox’s performance, memory usage, and UI all far outstrip Chrome’s in my browsing now; I don’t see any reason to use Chrome apart from the usual cross-browser testing, and it’s been that way for a year (?) now. (And Firefox “forks” have always been a very good way to be behind on security patches to no benefit.)
