That does show up one area that Chrome still eclipses Firefox - the Shift Esc task manager that will usually reveal which tab or extension is cratering things. Firefox is much more opaque about memory and especially CPU use, making it far harder to pin down.
- feanaro 7y agoDo you know about about:performance?
- giancarlostoro 7y agoFirefox has a task manager now. They should improve on this to compete with Googles. Nobody wants to type a URL when they can hit an easy shortcut.
- cartlidge 7y agoI have a hope of remembering about:performance. I can bookmark it, and it's there in autocomplete. You can make a link to it in your webpage or in a nice plugin (which, once it gets a couple thousand users, you can sell to an honest businessman for tens of thousands). Shift-Escape? what? I'm supposed to just randomly press every key combination till something happens?
- giancarlostoro 7y agoA shortcut is better than clicking the Hamburger menu icon, then "More" then Task Manager / typing it into the browser.
- Fnoord 7y agoWhy not both (if the shortcut is available)?
- efreak 7y agoIf you can remember the hotkey for Windows task manager, sure. It's Ctrl+Shift+ESC. If not, you can access it through the menu.
