Quantum is a great improvement to Firefox. I'm running 57.0b14 ATM (normally I'm quite conservative with anything except Emacs) and quite pleased. The performance improvements are quite noticable. Though I do wish they created a more user-extensible browser, a bit a la Emacs.

> Though I do wish they created a more user-extensible browser, a bit a la Emacs. That's what Firefox used to be, and one of the main things that got it to where it is now. But 57 is also the one that drops that flexibility with removal of the XUL. Supposedly there'll be new API calls for WebExtension-converted add-ons, but it seems to be really slow going. Between this and the Electrolysis update that also broke a lot of add-ons, I've seen a few get abandoned by their devs, who are fed up with Mozilla breaking what works.
