depends on your browsing habits.
chromium based browsers don't scale nicely with many open tabs (in regards to memory consumption).

Ive recently tried chrome, vivaldi and brave
I got close to switching to vivaldi, but the level of customization and comfiness firefox offers kept me from doing so. Brave was too bare bones
I spent a of time designing this css, not going to switch soon
>>
>>54682172
Vivaldi's UI is built like a webpage. This offers you more customization possibilities than Firefox.

Also when they use Servo, such deep CSS customization will no longer be possible, they restrict theming, extension capabilities and that will also include CSS restrictions, as Mozilla wants to be in control what the user can change.

All for the "benefit of the user"!
>>
>>54682172
The same applies for Brave. Also their UI is built like a web page. And it is Open Source, so you can change it as you wish with writing CSS and you have Open Source too.

Vivaldi's downside is that it is a lame web-app and 2 extensions bundled with Chromium. No real browser.

Better than Torch, but still a sucking concept.
>>
How does Vivaldi compare in speed and security?
>>
>>54682565
It is so shit. Like, so so shit.

Design looks like it's made by a 6 year old.
Hardly any addon support and it's just complete shit
>>
>>54682565
Same like Chromium.

Brave is better. It has a real No-Script feature included and also ads block included.
>>
>>54682584
That is a lie. Vivaldi supports many extensions. And the UI is fully customizable.

But the concept of bundling an app and extensions and call this a browser is shit, with that i agree.
>>
>>54682545
>such deep CSS customization will no longer be possible, they restrict theming, extension capabilities and that will also include CSS restrictions,

Servo is... nevermind, just watch this.

>>54682584
Let me guess you are a Firefox Chrome UI clone supporter. Australis is SO much better yeah... Stripped of useful features, and you can only customize it with add-ons.

And in the future, this ability will be cut down very much. Yeah, it is SO much better.

Oh wait, it is SO much more shittier. It is a Chrome UI clone and Mozilla kisses Google Chromes ass wherever they go. Well done for picking the most biggest fag browser as your favorite.

I have no idea what the fuck are you doing, I have no problem running it on an older computer which runs XP.

I am even using userscripts, which usually tend to slow down the browser, but I feel no slowdowns.

how do I remove the thing on the left of my posts (and the replies to it) in 4chan X?
>>
>>54682659
maybe the UI/browser elements, but the Servo engine is revolutionary.

you seem to think Servo is a browser. it's not. it's an engine, like webkit, which is the engine chrome and safari, and vivaldi are based on.

i hate SJW's but i use rust because it's very very gud.

i think firefox has been bloated for the last 5 years, so I use chrome. but when servo comes out i'm probably gonna switch, and also they'll be writing the rest of the browser shell in rust, which will probably mean they'll have a sleek, superior product again

firefox -> help -> troubleshooting information -> refresh firefox

firefox getting laggy/slow usually occurs when your profile is corrupt

refreshing firefox will create a new profile and move over history, cookies, passwords, etc. to the new profile

you will have to reinstall your extensions, but it's worth it

Servo hits 500fps

Servo is an experimental web browser layout engine being developed by Mozilla Research, with Samsung porting it to Android and ARM processors.[3] The prototype seeks to create a highly parallel environment, in which many components (such as rendering, layout, HTML parsing, image decoding, etc.) are handled by fine-grained, isolated tasks. Source code for the project is written in the Rust programming language.
Servo provides a consistent API for hosting the engine within other software. It is designed to be compatible with Chromium Embedded Framework, an API used by Adobe and Valve Corporation to incorporate the Blink rendering engine within their own products, allowing Servo to be dropped in as a replacement engine simplifies real-world testing.
Two significant components used by Servo are based on pre-existing C++ code from Mozilla. JavaScript support is provided by SpiderMonkey, and the 2D graphics library Azure is used to interface to OpenGL and Direct3D.[4]

It's very low-resource and super fast!

Sure, but without customization and features. Good riddance! My problem is not SJW - my problem is that Mozilla abandons power users.

That is the reason why they are fags.
>>
>>54682763
Is it gonna run on Windows XP?

It's gonna be a waste if they create a light browser engine but don't allow it to run on older computer

I do not accept a browser where i only can have features if i have to install an add-on for it.

I rather would use Otter-Browser or Qupzilla before i would touch Firefox again.

That feature is considered - Ask at their Github page or over Twitter.

I was a long time Firefox user. I was using it back in the Phoenix 0.3 days. It was awesome back then but today it is just a mess. I switched to Chrome in January and haven't had any issues since then. It syncs everything perfectly every time, it feels a lot lighter and more responsive although it does use more RAM (not that it matters with 16GB desu). They only thing that still sucks about Chrome is their bookmarks manager is crap. Something I love is that it does update itself transparently.

Oh yeah and I love that extensions can make use of my media keys for play/pause. Very handy.

No way, chrome/chromium font rendering is always shit. This is the reason I keep using Safari as default browser.

Brave is no Chrome copycat.

It does only use the rendering part delivered trough libchromiumcontent.

The rest of the browser is made by the Brave team with the help of Electron. So, you only have the rendering engine but not the rest of Chromium botnet pack.
