Speaking as a library developer, Firefox is expensive for us to support in https://replicache.dev https://replicache.dev and https://reflect.net https://reflect.net due to lots of long-open bugs, particularly in the storage system. Firefox also generally has the slowest performance which affects us.
I'm not bagging on the team, it's frankly amazing they've been able to mostly keep up, it's just a fact that maintaining a competitive web browser is a gargantuan task that requires a large team and investment.
- int_19h 3y agoI think there's a strong argument to be made here that governments should be actively subsidizing (if not directly managing) some implementation of the web standards that is guaranteed to actually be fully conforming to them, accessible etc. The web stack is such a fundamental part of our infrastructure these days that it feels irresponsible to leave it entirely to the whims of the private market - especially one that is dominated by large oligopolies which said governments are already actively investigating.
- asdff 3y agoWhen people say firefox is more performant than other browsers, they mean to say you can use actual powerful adblockers like ublock origin that then make it a totally rigged race against other browsers in terms of real world performance.
- usr1106 3y agoWhich is a good thing. Running ads is triple pollution. On the servers, on the browser, and by the manipulated comsumers buying crap they don't need in the first place. (Yes, I do pay for content I care about.)
