- intelVISA 3y agoFF is pretty crap these days (as a lifelong FF fanboy). I'd hesitate to use it except for HN where its low speed and security are part of the experience.
- mplewis 3y agoFirefox outperforms Chrome on web benchmarks, and it leaks less of your personal info to Google.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y ago[citation needed] Chrome feels a lot faster than Firefox to me (Especially on Facebook!), yet I still use Firefox to resist Google's stranglehold on the web.
- pawelduda 3y agoI recently installed it because of this news to give it a try and reality != benchmarks, also deals much worse with large amount of tabs open
- DANmode 3y ago> leaks less of your personal info to Google. Hope you trust Mozilla with that same level of info (in twenty years)!
- mindslight 3y agoI don't understand comments like this. Chromium grinds to a crawl and even locks up with more than a handful of tabs, and its developers are deliberately adding new security vulnerabilities.
- DANmode 3y ago> deliberately adding new security vulnerabilities Misleading way to say more APIs, I presume?
- mindslight 3y agoThe review process for new web APIs in general is pretty shoddy and not terribly concerned with security (eg Canvas). However I was specifically referencing this of the past few days: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36910978 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36910978
- pawelduda 3y agoAgree, my IQ is too low to catch up with amount of changes to omnibar look, addition of cool color schemes or preinstalled extensions to advertise a TV show
- DANmode 3y agoAt least use Chromium.
