Someone below commented that they actually removed the flag with this release, so, ignore that last paragraph...

I have yet to see a maintainer of an open-source project who wasn't hopelessly excited when some UI-person took to their project and tried to do things with it. Most programmers are aware that they are terrible at GUIs. Heck, a lot of

Ah, that was probably a little while ago, too, then, i.e. still on KDE Plasma 4 instead of Plasma 5. Someone else posted a screenshot of LibreOffice under Plasma 5 (with the non-dark Breeze-style): http://imgur.com/a/H6

Not terribly representative, though, that browser A would do worse than browser B on browser B's vendor's web property...

What OS are you on? LibreOffice doesn't have gradients for me. That is on Linux, but with Breeze Dark system style. (Linux doesn't have a default-style, in case you're not aware.)

Alright, I'm confused. This doesn't do anything for me. I even tried it in a fresh profile to ensure that it wasn't fixed by some add-on or setting that I was using, and tried it with e10s on and off, but it loads perfectly f

So, I was wondering about licensing, if this would mean that Google/Microsoft would have to open-source their browsers in order to use Servo, but seems like Servo's license (MPL) does permit linking to it from code which is under

It is somewhat more recent. From what the internet tells me, this was introduced with Firefox 40.

It should improve performance in the sense that Rust helps to produce code which can be easily parallelized. But Servo being written in Rust isn't the argument that he's making. Servo is built with a modern architecture, which all

Well, Google, Microsoft and Apple make a few billions a year. Undoubtedly, those three invest a much lower percentage of that into their respective browsers than Mozilla does, but it could still easily be more than Mozilla has. Also just in

I've been keeping an eye out for any such announcements, and from what I can tell, there is no current plan. They do have a GUI-toggle for it, so it should stay around at least for a little while, and with Mozilla even still supporting

A separate process has an overhead over just using a separate thread. If you put each individual tab into an individual process, you will have this overhead for each individual tab, meaning that you're much more limited in the total nu

If you do, though, understand that this might actually cause you worse performance than you currently have, depending on the add-ons that you use.

Type "about:config" into the URL-bar and hit enter. Confirm to the dialog that you'll be cautious and then search in that page for "xpinstall.signatures.required". I'm guessing, that this is disabled for you. I

uBlock Origin usually rather decreases RAM usage, since ads tend to take up a fair chunk of RAM, too. If you want to troubleshoot it, type "about:memory" into the URL-bar and hit enter, then click the "Measure"-button to

Chrome was designed with multi-core processors in mind. Firefox wasn't, since obviously multi-core processors weren't really a thing when Firefox was initially released. As a result, Mozilla had to tear up a big chunk of the archi

Are you sure that it's not anyways, because of lagginess (i.e. did you try the new release)? The addition of e10s has also majorly improved scrolling performance (through the implementation of Asynchronous Panning and Zooming [0]), whi

The previous page was just a crappy Google Doc embedded into the page, so they probably tidied it up before release...

Currently, having any add-on installed will block it. In the future, they want to work with a whitelist, but for now, they are being extremely cautious with the rollout, since e10s is considered the biggest architectural change that Firefox

This isn't yet fully on par with Chrome's multi-process implementation, as Chrome also separates individual tabs' content processes (so, if you load many tabs in a short time, those tabs will generally render better in parall

They can definitely also EEE with this. Take a game engine, create a fork for your platform, wait until your platform and fork has a significant market share, and then start introducing features to your fork, which are not directly availabl

I do the same. It's definitely irrational, but I often even leave a site, if it wants me to click "Agree" on some (Cookie-)dialog, before I can use the site. I've also come to hate "truste", whatever company&#x

No need to ask all ad companies. The biggest ad company in the world owns the most widely used browser. They can single-handedly prevent something like this from being standardized.

The law he's talking about is enforced by the EU, so it's the same across most of Europe. And the website-owners probably just didn't put an exception in for Norway...

Sort of a different thing, though, as it's not "Allow Cookies?", but rather "We use Cookies. Stop using our service, if you don't like that.".

I wouldn't say, it's a solid alternative for everyone, but for some people, it can definitely be. I for example like indie games. As a result, and probably with a bit of luck, 80% of my Steam-library had Linux-support when I jumpe

In my personal opinion, the reasons for using it don't outweigh the reasons against it, but either way, the reasons for using it ( / an app store in general) are: 1) Convenience: You don't have to search all over the web for

Not really a reason for using the store specifically, as you can get those almost certainly from the internet as well.

The hash for "Passw0rd" would almost certainly also be in some Rainbow table, so effectively no computation time in that case...
