Performance I understand, its hard to compete with v8 and JS is pumped down our pipes in ever-growing amounts.
Extensions are poor, truly, with this I agree. But extensions are also a huge reason that people consider browsers to be unperformant (hilariously, based on my previous statement). I can understand the Safari team being less than excited to permit even worse performance.
- concinds 2y agoSafari + AdGuard (with the extension enabled) is much slower than Chrome/Firefox + uBlock Origin though
- dijit 2y agoI’m not sure that this is incompatible with the idea that the JS engine is just slower than v8. Extensions are basically just injected javascript, right?
- lovethevoid 2y agoSafari will never compete on extensions. Just how it is, Firefox has proven that. They need a different direction, either to heavily lean on limitations and ease of creation/hooking into core APIs in a tested way that won't affect performance. Or something else entirely.
