What about fighting the Chromium monoculture? Is the difference in browser speed so great that you can't tolerate the extra lag in Firefox in order to fight Google's dominance?
- swiley 7y agoIn my experience chrome isn’t even faster on Linux.
- wayneftw 7y agoThere is no problem with a monoculture based around a common browser kernel. Proof: Every cloud company uses Linux and this has created nothing but opportunity for ~~Linux users~~ everyone!
- evanrelf 7y agoOf course it would create opportunity for Linux users, because Linux became the monopoly. All the BeOS people are now out of luck. Your analogy doesn't make sense.
- wayneftw 7y agoBeOS users can still use that if they want. Nothing stopping them at all.
- markstos 7y agoAlso nothing but opportunity for those looking for kernel flaws, of which their many. The Linux kernel monoculture is a devastating weakness.
- wayneftw 7y agoNo it’s not. It’s an opportunity to fix things once for everyone instead of having to fix things a hundred times for a hundred different operating systems.

- licebmi__at__ 7y agoMaybe I just don't use cool SPA, but I just never noticed the speed of chrome or firefox's lag that is mentioned every now and then. I recently gave chrome a try since since it was already installed on my work laptop, but I didn't noticed any difference aside that I was missing my addons, which actually is not that great for chrome as my work laptop is fancier with more potent hardware than my personal one (t490 vs x230).
