I think a huge chunk of web developers might be forced to switch to Firefox soon: Stripe’s API docs have become so big (and their asynchronous loading logic is so terrible) that Chrome regularly crashes for me jumping into section links in their api docs which made me curious to try it under Firefox. Happy report that slow DOM content loaded times aside, Firefox works great there!
- switch007 3y agoThose JS doc sites are getting ridiculous. Terrible user experience. Laggy, buggy, slow. Who thinks they’re a good idea? Docs should be docs, not full blown apps

I'm sure there are many people paid to spend a lot of time in meeting rooms, talking about UX and how users need the latest trend of single-page website with blackjack and hookers. > Docs should be docs, not full blown apps I actually started reading RFCs a few years ago and found that they are pretty easy to follow. And of course man pages are even more approachable. One just needs to get used to the fact that it is text-only, instead of a full sensory experience like modern websites.
- r00fus 3y agoI noticed something similar 10 years ago - large XML documents simply don't render in Chrome but Firefox had no issues. Surprised this is still the case that Chrome hasn't bothered to resolve.
- clementmas 3y agoThe Stripe API docs are also slow on Firefox for me. Even with a good browser, sites shouldn't use that much JS
