Given they'd just one a lot of people back with 57, this was a pretty dumb thing to do.

- nayuki 9y ago*one -> won
- mnd999 9y agoYes. Oops.
- djsumdog 9y agoI gave it a good strong shot when 57 came out (I had been on Vivaldi for a while). The performance was way better for sure, but it still wasn't quite there. I also hate how default zoom level still requires a plugin and isn't built into the browser.
- buu700 9y agoSame, I had it as my default browser for a few weeks and it was a huge improvement, but ultimately I had to switch back to Chrome. No default zoom or pinch-to-zoom were my biggest pain points, then performance (mostly comparable with Chrome, except videos consistently spike the CPU above 100%), and the last straw was the ridiculous number of OS X kernel panics I was getting. Beyond that, a lot of little enhancements would make a huge difference, like support for pasting without formatting, support for whatever clipboard APIs Google Docs needs, U2F support, and top-level await in the console. I generally love the new Firefox and got my configuration in a state where I was sad to leave the UI/UX for Chrome's, but there were too many downsides to the point where it was becoming an obstacle to doing my job. Really hoping these issues can all be sorted out relatively soon.
- seba_dos1 9y agoSorry, but how are kernel panics related to userspace software? Isn't it just the indicator that your operating system is somehow broken?
- buu700 9y agoYeah, that part is more OS X's fault, but either way it makes Firefox unusable for me. It seems like it may be related to Firefox's video CPU spiking issue.
- dawnerd 9y agoI just switched back to Firefox too :/
