I'm using an oldish HP laptop with Slackware current and I noticed a huge difference. I don't have PulseAudio installed so Quantum won't play sound but otherwise it's a big improvement for me. And it was super easy to install, just download, untar, move to proper path and execute.
Because of that I'm able to keep the old Firefox which works with ALSA for youtube and such and use Quantum for everything else. Gotta love switches like -profile and -no-remote.
Nice work Mozilla!
- FreeFull 9y agoMaybe you could try out something like https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse for getting around the pulseaudio requirement.
- smhenderson 9y agoThank you, I will give it a go. Have been procrastinating for a while on taking care of this so thanks for the nudge! edit: Figured I'd give it a try. Really easy to set up and after figuring out how to white list /dev/snd in Firefox it works great. Thanks again!
