I have been mainly using Firefox for the last 3 months on desktop, and for over a year on phone - and it's amazing. Highly recommend it. I even uninstalled Chrome now on my main machine- sometimes you run into what appears "Chrome optimized" sites, like back in IE6 days but its rare.
- bufferoverflow 8y agoChrome is still king when it comes to fast JS execution and modern technologies. I'm talking about real world use, I know some benchmarks put FF and Edge ahead. The recent post about real time pose estimation was a pretty example of that - pretty unusable in FF, runs great in Chrome (on Windows at least) https://storage.googleapis.com/tfjs-models/demos/posenet/camera.html https://storage.googleapis.com/tfjs-models/demos/posenet/cam... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17283525 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17283525
- the_duke 8y agoI've been using FF again since 57 came out. The only real world pages that sometimes crawl to a halt on FF are some Google pages like the old Gmail and Youtube.

- dblohm7 8y agoWhat exactly do you mean by "modern technologies?" Usually people who say that are complaining that Gecko is missing some bleeding-edge DOM API that was pushed out by Blink. If you think that Firefox/Gecko doesn't have any modern tech, then you're not looking closely enough.
