I’d love to use Firefox again but every time I download it it seems like a bloated slow mess. Get it back to why we installed it back then.
Make it lighter and faster than Chrome and with more privacy. That’s all that matters.
- cassianoleal 5y agoI find your 3 criteria to be met on macOS. Not sure about other platforms.
- chrisseaton 5y agoIf you want light, fast, secure on macOS why not use Safari?
- cassianoleal 5y agoBetter privacy, better control over how my browser behaves, tab isolation, tab containers, uBlock Origin, ... I do use Safari, but as a secondary browser, mostly as temporary private windows.
- pjerem 5y agoI use Firefox and Chrome on a daily basis (Firefox for browsing, Chrome because it's well integrated with a lot of IDEs) and I'd argue it's false to say, in 2022, that Firefox is a bloated slow mess. I would not say either that it's faster than Chrome but I honestly doesn't feel any difference. If I had to choose between the two without the ideological side, I honestly don't know which one I would choose. Probably Firefox for tabs containerization.
- lariati 5y agoTotally agree. At least on KDE I really don't notice any difference in performance and always have both installed. I use Firefox 99% of the time though. I think it is something about the tabs that I like better but it is a minor difference and purely based on personal taste.
