Firefox isn't even the best browser on Linux.
On my aarch64 devices, Chromium in a Docker image loads faster, never dominates the CPU, renders video and websites faster, and has working DRM. Firefox is slower in every respect and can't render Netflix.
- troyvit 6y agoReally? Firefox works fine with netflix on my pop_os laptop.
- lutoma 6y agoI don't think you can make a blanket statement like this. My experience has been almost the opposite, Chrome always uses significantly more CPU for me. I think it really depends on hardware, drivers etc.
- AsyncAwait 6y agoOpposite experience. For starters, Chromium doesn't even support video hardware decoding on Wayland properly.
- dleslie 6y agoThat's unfair. Not even Emacs master works under Wayland. It's nowhere near a replacement for X.
- AsyncAwait 6y ago> It's nowhere near a replacement for X. It is for me and many others. Emacs works great under XWayland but Chromium HW video acceleration doesn't. Emacs is a community project whereas Chromium has billions poured into it. Even Wine's getting Wayland support now and that ran under XWayland fine. I don't think it's that unfair. Firefox on Linux is just better. Leaves some to be desired, sure, but a lot less than Chromium.
