That sounds like a reproducible bug report, with an easy test case (“run this script and measure laptop battery life, in Firefox and Safari”). If you haven’t already provided that in a bug report to the software developers, you should do so. Shopping your concern to an unrelated thread about security headers isn’t likely to get far on HN, certainly nowhere near as much as a testable bug would.
- dbg31415 5y agoEh, I'm willing to take a few downvotes if it means raising awareness. I tag pretty much every Firefox post with some sort of report on battery life. I've added bug reports... doesn't ever seem to get taken seriously. Like I said I'm OK with taking a few downvotes on the off chance someone on the Firefox team may actually see this and be able to prioritize work to address the issue. Firefox is my primary browser, but this issue in the age of Covid makes it fundamentally flawed. Heard all the responses, "Stop trying to use Firefox on a Mac, it's Apple's fault..." and not unsympathetic, just feels more can be done.
- hiccuphippo 5y agoIsn't it less work to do the bug report in the proper place than post about everytime in half-related threads? You could even send it as its own post to HN to do the raise awareness part.
- dbg31415 5y agoBeen done, Mate. Been done.
- floatingatoll 5y ago"Raising awareness" by spamming your issue into unrelated posts' comments isn't really an acceptable behavior here. You need to find or write a blog post about the issues you're experiencing, and submit that to HN for independent consideration.
- dang 5y agoCan you please not do that here? It's off topic, and even more so if you've been doing it repeatedly. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
