Firefox really needs some help in its snappiness area. While I wont mind optimizations to the general browser runtime and everything it powers, I don't think Firefox "really needs" help in the snappiness department. Firefox today is a unique browser with several unique qualities. 1. It's founded on open-source, 100%, unlike certain other supposedly-open browsers created by ad-companies. 2. It's extremely extensible and is the only browser I can feel I can make "mine". 3. It has a clear stance on the value of the open web. No DRM shall pass. All other big browser vendors are peddling one DRM or another, and they are doing so on the open web, with no shame, no regret. Using those browsers implicitly makes you support Web-DRM, and to me that is completely unacceptable. 4. Where it tries to evolve standards it does so in a compatible way, and is open to community feedback. Compare this to for instance Google which develops a product in house, client and server code, in a quick turn releases it, as is, on the open web with some light docs saying "It's an open standard, anyone can use it. Just don't ask for us to do things differently". See Google's own attempt at ActiveX-like technology (NaCl, this website is incompatible with your CPU architecture) and how they've completely hijacked HTTP 2.0 with a new protocol which honours nothing of what made HTTP a success. There are no browsers currently out there which gives me any incentive to switch from Firefox. And doing so for a few milliseconds improved loading-times seems like complete madness. From a freedom point of view all other browsers are compromised. Only Firefox remains. What happened to the world of techies with principles? Did you throw them all out when you bought those laptops from that Cupertino based patent-troll and launched a Web 2.0 URL-shortener written in node.js compiled with emscripten?
