With the demise of Firefox and the lack of a proper Gecko browser alternative, is it clear that WebKit/Blink browsers are the future?
Are getting ourselves into another era of "Better viewed with a WebKit browser™"? Would you even care?
NOPE.AVI
Firefox is superior to Webkit/Blink shit

A lot of you probably bash it without even trying. It actually is a great browser
>>51590613
>Better viewed with a WebKit browser™
Well, at least that would make web development kinda neat.
I wish more websites had the balls to tell their users that using IE 8 in 2015 is simply not appropriate. That they're holding everyone back. That IE 10 should be the minimum.
How close are WebKit and Blink anymore even?
>>51590629
>>51590652
There is no Pale Moon for Mac OSX. We need something supoprting all platforms.
>>51590691
I'm curious too.
>>51590711
There cannot possibly be a good web browser for OSX, because OSX is not a good operating system.
Install gentoo and then you'll be fine.

All they need is someone to build it for them.
>>51590887
hahaha i fucking love you /g/
>>51590640
firefox is sjw though, and that's worse than botnet
>>51590905
I tried a while ago a version called NewMoon, basically, Pale Moon compiled for OSX, it was pretty great, but sadly, it's been discontinued too. Hope they find someone to build it, because I'd really love to use it.
are we not making our own fucking browser yet, jesus christ /g/ step up
>>51590985
>not just contributing to pale moon
>>51590985
I guess someone will eventually make it, but it will only run on Gentoo.
No, seriously, we should.
>demise of FF
don't thinks so F.A.M.
>>51590629
>>51590652
I can confirm, just switched to Palemoon, there are some rough edges, but it's a great browser, and it uses surprisingly low RAM. It's magic!
>>51591022
Yeah, no demise at all.
>>51591057
I...goddamn, I seriously can't believe that Opera has that much market share.
>>51591033
This
>tfw enjoying 300 MB RAM usage with like 10 tabs open
>>51591138
The true magic is having 30 tabs open and only 500 MB RAM usage. I mean, holy shit, Chrome and Firekeks both used 1G+ under the same usage, what the fuck have I been missing out on. Holy shit!
>demise of Firefox
This meme is epic for the win.
>>51591057
>IE 6.9%
What the fuck are these stats from
>>51590629
It really needs a bigger development team. Right now it's not serious.
Are all webkit browsers botnet /g/?
Even with Mozilla killing XUL it still has the potential to be the better browser.
>>51591451
It doesn't stop there. They're making the wrong decisions left and right.
It's going to be another Chrome clone, and if you don't see it coming, you're just lying to yourself.
>>51591416
In one way or another they all phone home, so yes
>>51591468
It kind of already is thanks to Australis. Not to mention killing XUL is in favor of porting Chrome/Safari extensions. I'm not too worried if vertical tabs are still possible after WebExtentions take over (https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions#Additional_APIs)
I knew it KDE wins again! Thanks KHTML
>>51591533
sad news brother :(
webkit is fast as fuck, firefox needs themes to make it usable and the devs suck dick
>>51591381
The problem is it was originally only supposed to be a version of Firefox optimized for Windows desktops.
Then suddenly Australis happened and Pale Moon became the new "next big thing". The developers accepted that role but weren't prepared for it. They still kinda aren't - the linux version of the browser is kinda buggy and there isn't a functional Mac version.
>>51591711
That's true. If it's going to be Gecko's salvation, it needs to grow.
>>51591033
>there are some rough edges
Which are weasel-words for "a bunch of shit doesn't work but I'm going to pretend it doesn't matter"
>>51591773
The "rough edges" mostly pertain to it being close enough to Firefox to be compatible but not so close that webpages think it's compatible.
Which is more of a webdev issue than a webbrowser issue, but still. Biggest problem I've seen with it so far is that those shitty new "Click all the pictures with cocks and balls" captchas don't load right.

Pale Moon is your only hope, anon. There's active development for themes there, and the dev even takes requests.

You finally did it /g/
Have moved to pale moon to avoid the botnet.
Still using botnet OS though.
>>51590613
Install Palemoon.
>>51590937
They're both the thought police.

It must have been a year since I've seen someone post that.

Is chromium botnet?
>>51591964
I didn't even know there was a browser named mozilla, guess you learn something new every day.
>>51593481
everything popular is botnet to /g/ standards
>>51590613
WebKit/Blink is the present.
Servo is the future

If I can't use Pale Moon due to it's developer, what am I supposed to use. HOW DO I GET OFF THIS BOTNET!?!?
>>51593544
When is Servo going to be ready? 2029?
>>51593624
around 2017
Firefox is dead?
Glitch Please
>>51593652
By that time there won't be any Firefox users left.
And completely new rendering engine won't be without issues, why would even users of other browsers switch to "new Firefox"?
Maybe they will rename it when they switch Servo for Gecko, to get rid of bad reputation (just like Microsoft did with IE). But seriously, who is gonna switch to browser?
Chrome does have the whole ecosystem, is present on every possible OS, new Firefox has to be on completely different level, just for people to consider it. Not only performance wise (like Edge is, but it didn't help it), but also feature wise ...
>>51593766
servo is in another level, seriously is fucking amazing.
Just look at webrender for servo:
https://github.com/glennw/webrender/wiki
Turbofaggot here.
About to try Palemoon, I'm done with firefox. I feel like it's worse than chrome by now. Anything I should know? Can I install muh adblocker and watch youtube videos and live streams (flash/html5)? Also I fear I will lose anonymosity on certain sites because I will be the only user with that web browser. Any way to combat this, like the admin reading out browser informations?
I use internet explorer
JUST
>>51593956
As it's been said before, it'll come out too late.
>>51594016
servo with one thread is faster than chrome so servo + webrender is enough even if it comes in 2019
>>51594016
You can never be sure of the future anon. Maybe 2 years later chrome will become such a resource hogging behemoth even normies will be sick of it.
>>51590613
I don't care. I use Chrome. I'm full corporate. Quit hiding from the warm light of the botnet.
>>51594350
That is true, and in fact, one can see that progression lately.
>>51592270
Holy shit, is that what 4K looks like? Damn.. I want that... :(
Just use Netsurf or Dillo

>>51592152
who cares if the developer is a furry, at least he's not yizzing all over the browser.
meanwhile you're posting this shit on /g/

>yizzing

>>51591964
This
Don't forget they spent a year trying to decide on a name. It was called Phoenix then Firebird (GM didn't like that)
They still haven't closed the bug for "missing kitchen sink"
>>51590613
The single reason I still stick with Firecücks is because of bookmark syncing.
I want to have my bookmarks everywhere I go.
Name a better sync service and I'll switch today.
>>51596009
I don't really use Chrome atm, but what's wrong with its bookmark syncing?

>>51591649
this. too bad they, Google, transformed it into a botnet
>>51591964
browsers are shit. news at 11. same will happen with servo.
I guess it's easier to start something new than to try to fix the mess you have created by yourself. good example: IE -> edge. microsoft ended ditching IE altogether
Don't want to create a new thread for this. Is there a Tree Style Tab add on for Pale Moon? The one for firefox doesn't work.
>>51596985
use an older version. worked fine for me

that's wrong, it's a firefox fork, and it always has been
it's never just been an optimized build
>>51593956
yeah, unfortunately it sounds like there aren't any plans to use it in desktop FF
I think I'd heard discussion of it possibly being used in mobile FF or with browser.html
>>51590985
I'll make the logo
I seriously hope you guys don't do this
>>51590887
Stop with the botnet meme.
Botnet /= spyware. Come on, /g/ do I really have to explain what a botnet is?
>>51590613
In case anyone hasn't heard of it, fiber looks promising

also, servo may come soon thanks to CEF
