It's 2019 now. Try Firefox again. For me it feels faster than Chrome. And it has a reader view. That's on Linux and on Windows. On Mac, I admit, Chrome feels faster. But you have Safari.
- pmoriarty 8y agoFirefox's speed depends a lot on which extensions you use. I use a bunch, like uBlock Origin, uMatrix, Tridactyl, Tree Style Tab, and Stylus, and Firefox slows down to a crawl for me when I have more than about 8 tabs open. Now, some might advise not to use extensions, but using extensions is half the reason that I use Firefox at all in the first place, as Firefox without extensions really sucks.
- Narishma 8y ago> Firefox without extensions really sucks The only extension I use is uBlock Origin. I've never felt the need for anything else whether it's on Firefox or Chrome.
- magicalhippo 8y agoI use uBlock Origin, uMatrix and Greasemonkey, and FireFox is nice and fast with several dozen tabs open for weeks at a time. Slack leaks memory like there's no tomorrow, but that's on Slack. I just close the Slack tab and force a full GC/CC cycle and I get my memory back. I'd do a binary search of sorts, disable half of the extensions and see if performance is still bad or not etc, to narrow it down to the offending extension(s).
