because chrome is shit
seriously, fucking GOOGLE services work better in Firefox than they do in Chrome
Screenshare in Hangouts? lol, forget about doing that in Chrome. Nada. No way. Doesn't work. Had to open up Firefox for that shit to work.
I don't. I use Iridium. It is the most responsive, stable, uses chrome extensions, 64bit, sandboxed tabs with the option to sandbox by domain, and takes advantage of multithreading. With my debloated Win7 install I can browse a few tabs and only use 1GB of memory.
Only a fucking SJW numale cuck would use Firefox with their beyond shit development philosophy, x86 platform, bloat, and pro-gay/tranny/nigger agenda.
Only a retard would use botnet/IE.
Palemoon and other FF forks are memes.
Iridium is the natural choice for anyone with a brain.
because chrome does things in about 5 different processes per window, and internet explorer is too slow.
Because Webkit is objectively bad.
Firefox supports full colour emoji font and side tabs. Also its fully open source.
It and SeaMonkey are the only good browsers that still receive updates.
>>54671567
Iridium is yet another chromium reskin.
>>54671490
Because it still is the most customisable browser on the market. It's also very secure and good at handling privacy (if you disable telemetry). It's open source, meaning there is more support for it. It's not made by Google, a NSA surveillance engine.
>>54671730
They're all shit, firefox is just the least shit.
>>54671802
Nah firefox isn't shit. There are tons of good firefox forks out there which disable the telemtry and all of the added bad features by default. in terms of speed, yeah firefox isn't blazingly fast, but isn't the slowest either. Try using opera, it's horrendous in terms of speed.
>>54671586
You know that if it didn't run in different processes, everytime a webpage's JS crashes, the whole browser dies. Like this, if only the specific tab will crash. Observe: crashchrome.com
>>54671490

>>54671567
post more of this cunt
>>54671567
The other option is using Chrome-like browsers, that will contribute to a Google monopoly. And Chromium is not botnet free.
>>54671490
other browsers have no features and/or are botnet
>>54671896
You wouldn't need a different process for this
>>54671604
So is Chronium
Because I'm a SJW.
>>54671490
I don't like all the autoupdate crap background services Chrome installs.
>>54671513
winrar
I use mouse gestures for everything and Chrome have limitations compared to Firefox
also I don't like all the background shit Chrome does
>>54671490
Because it's finally feeling snappy again thanks to e10s.
That and it's creepy how Google pushes you to always stay signed in to their entire ecosystem/botnet when using Chrome.
TreeStyleTabs is only available on Firefox. No other browser allows add-ons to customize the user interface that much.
I started using it in 2009 and I am never, ever going back to horizontal tabs. Can you imagine how streamlined and efficient my porn browsing is?

Firefox was always a fad. It was never actually good. Never, not once.
Remember all those articles about security vulnerabilities in Firefox every few weeks? Remember how Internet Explorer managed to consistently be a safer browser in terms of security vulnerabilities month after month?
Remember how Firefox was designed to be a lightweight alternative to the Mozilla suite, but then became so fat and bloated and using more memory than every other browser that they resorted to using gimmicks in handling memory to make it look like it was using less ram?
Remember how they tried to put Firefox on mobile devices and how it was so badly optimized that it ran bad and ate peoples' battery life? Remember how they tried to turn Firefox into an OS and it was an even worse disaster?
Remember how Firefox made millions of dollars of revenue from partnerships and through Google, and how they used it to pay their execs and in-house "feature" programmers, while all the actual talented smart people contributing code to the browser got shit?
Fuck Mozilla, fuck Firefox, and fuck people who still promote its use.
>>54672844
It's still the best option out there.
>>54671490
>>54671490
not much is available for i686 arch linux...
>>54672865
That's like saying Donald Trump is the best option for president just because he's not Hillary.
In this case, there are a lot of alternatives. Chromium and Opera are the only browsers people should be wasting their time with anymore.
>>54672880
http://9to5google.com/2015/06/22/chrome-ok-google-hotwording-extension-privacy-concerns-confusion/
Chromium is a botnet and Opera is a rape victim pregnant with the rapist's child.
>>54672880
Blink-based browsers lack customizability, features and extensions. I will not decrease what little percentage of my privacy and security I still have control over just because they load slightly faster.
>>54671490
The only major issue with Firefox is that it renders the occasional webpage incorrectly, thanks to the moronic Chrome monopoly.
So what are the alternatives ? What should we use?
There are quite few reasons for why I don't use Chrome:
- no control whatsover over tab behaviour (an addon like tab mix plus is impossible on chrome)
- no control over the theme or window chrome
- no control over mouse gestures
- no way to disable functions I don't want like in about:config
- worse addons with poor quality control
- integrated with all the google botnets
- has become slower over its lifetime
- disables addons it doesn't like (windows only)
It's an okay browser for your average normalfag but I'm a power user and like to mess around in the options to get the most out of my software. Firefox is the best browser for this.
Because I like it.
>>54671490
I use Pale Moon. No memes intended.
>>54673658
Try vivaldi it supports all of those functions, added mouse gesture remapping just last week
>>54673708
Thanks but I'm very happy with Firefox.
My only issue with the fox is their SJW bullshit. The actual browser is fine.

>>54671490
honestly? because these last 2 super cheap (~$250ish) toshiba satellite craptops i use as home "internet terminals" have had fucked up problems where the trackpad/mouse just starts randomly fucking up and not working. the first one required me to go to the device manager and delete the mouse, reboot, and then the thing would work fine (provided i didnt do the 2nd reboot it asked me to do right after booting up)
this 2nd laptop had the same fucked up issues, but then that device manager > delete > reboot trick didn't work so i started to isolate what programs i was using when the trackpad went to shit and by and large chrome/browser was the #1 thing i was using when it'd go to shit. i switched over to firefox and then low and behold the trackpad fucked up WAY less often than it did with chrome, and then over time that whole screwy trackpad thing just completely fucked off.
nowadays this computer has a propensity to enter what i call "psycho mode" where out of nowhere something changes (unbeknownst to me) and then typing in letters = instead of letters popping up some kind of CTRL/ALT + [letter] macro pops up.... and if i'm browsing a webpage instead of page-up/page-down moving the webpage up/down it will switch between browser tabs. clicking on a link = opens every link in a new tab/window. and then if you have stuff you need to save b4 you reboot-to-fix-this you better hope you cleared out all the old files that are named up-to-untitled.ext, cuz since you cant type in any letters / #s you can only save files as untitled.ext or say, untitle.ext, untit.ext, etc.
yeah it's fucking mental. and it's totally TLDR and >not my blog. but yeah, basically i use firefox because my computer was a ticking time bomb that would cease having a functional trackpad/mouse in anywhere from 5mins-5hrs until i switched from chrome to firefox and it basically went away.
Chromium user here..
Because it's the best browser available.
I used it before version 1.0. I'm stuck in my ways. I hated the UI of chrome but Firefox started to copy it. I got used to it. Still don't want to use Chrome.
I use Firefox on Android too. It gives the comfiest 4chan experience with good webm support.
I'm pretty much a Google fanboy but fuck their browser. Fuck everything else too.
>>54671490
Nope, finally left for Inox. Feels good man.
>>54672844
>Remember how Internet Explorer managed to consistently be a safer browser in terms of security vulnerabilities month after month?
with internet explorer you know that only OFFICIAL/IMPORTANT/PROPER people are exploiting you for all of your data/info/etc. i sleep easy knowing that only the powers that be are able to access all my shit (the way god intended it)
>>54671490
I ask myself this every day.
Reasons for using Firefox:
* not botnet
* nice addons
* tree-style tabs
* comfy
* doesn't look like shit on Linux
* i like the font rendering better
Reasons for not using Firefox:
* it's slow
* crashes all the time on my Windows work laptop
* crashes on my desktop because gtk is a buggy mess
When it does work, it's not bad though. Will hopefully get better with whatever their multi-process thing is.
>>54671586
E10s should arrive soon, what will you do?
>>54674019
If someone wanted to target you IE would be the most likely target though. Whenever you hear of a targeted attack it was usually a fucking IE 0day.
Waterfox user here, for about a year. No problems so far.
>>54674040
oh yeah i don't use internet explorer, i was just trying to make a dumb joke about how with all microsoft products i assume that "the powers that be" can have their way with me + my shit
>>54673786
Why would I want to use tabkit2 or tab tree over tree style tabs?
>>54671490
Because fuck Chrome and Opera gave me some trouble
>>54674064
Yeah I was just saying that sketchy actors like the Chinese or the Best Koreans are most likely to rape you through IE. Those guys are pros though.
>>54674040
also i technically use IE only so i can easily pop into a ftp site and use it as a windows-explorer-folder, and just coming across them loading up msn.com / toshiba.com on me = i hate how iexplore forces me to basically let those pages load up (especially MSN) and i can't tell you how many times i've typed in my ftp://user:[email protected] and hit enter, only to have iexplore literally go NO! and replace my URL entry with the msn.com URL and continue loading up that page.
i also love when it chunks up and sometimes outright freezes while you try to cancel loading or outright kill the MSN tab. basically you walk away from it thinking "wow, microsoft really REALLY wants me to use their fucking site, eh?"
All this talk of IE, Firefox, and exploits reminds me of some shit that happened to me in 2002 or 2003. I went to a page in Firefox that managed to open IE and do a drive by install of shitware. I was impressed at the ingenuity and super pissed at the same time. Reformatted.
>>54674100
wasn't it not too long ago that iexplore was basically eminently-exploitable through ActiveX? i remember microsoft pushing that shit on you and if you didnt go and do your best to disable it the vanilla iexplore / OEM setups were basically easy to have some malicious ActiveX script come along and do whatever it wanted to do with your computer.... but hey when you gotta force a new standard you gotta force a new standard and only idiots get victimized, right?
besides, if ppl's shit got compromised/deleted microsoft could just sell them on some cloud/backup, right? and thus the slow march back to the days of dummy terminals continues with benign-sounding terms like "the cloud"
>>54674178
That was in the bad old days, like what I was just talking about in >>54674165
The IE side of things used activex to fuck me.
>>54671490
NoScript and few other addons, tabs,UI etc. I just prefer it over other browers. I'm keeping an eye on Vivaldi but so far it's a bit slow.
>>54674032
Disable it.
>>54674203
yeah i was always weary of iexplore because it was so obviously pushed at me that i just didnt want to use something that ppl had such a vested interest in forcing on me.
besides, iexplore = the continuation of mosaic, and good ol netscape = the continuation of mozilla, or mosaic godzilla. gotta stick with the kaiju on this one, outside of the whole "iexplore is slow and clunky and always wants to freeze and looks like shit and is the most easily exploitable browser out there because it's basically made for idiots and the exploiters know this and target it accordingly" thing
I don't.
>>54674006
You gotta try chanu for that comfy android /g/ browsing
>>54674258
Yeah back in those days I used to go on all kinds of sketchy sites for cracks and warez. People don't know how easy they got it with the torrent sites these days. Whatever I couldn't find on XDCC I would go to google for. I would just keep using the same sites I used before, that people recommended me and I trusted, like cracks.am. Most of the time I didn't have issues. But there were those times when you ended up on something truly horrible. Either something that would own you or something that would pop up horrifying porn that was difficult to close, and when you did get it closed it would just keep spawning new windows.
I didn't trust in antivirus, I didn't want that shit filling up my 128mb of ram. I put my trust in Firefox not to get me owned though.
>>54674048
>tfw alone in this

To be honest I'd be happy with just Firefox without the Mozilla botnet shit.

Unblur this immediately.

GNU IceCat, or as ive recently been taken to calling it, GNU plus IceCat.
>>54671490
Stopped using Firefox as soon as they got mad and started to speed copy Chrome UI.
Happy now with Vivaldi and Brave browser. Not looking back one single moment.
What is the best Chromium windows build?
I tried woolyss one but for some reason it made my anti virus to absolutely bat shit for some reason.
>>54671490
Because nothing else can be riced like Firefox.

Somebody seems desperate
>>54674533

>>54674535
>angry they are turning the browser into chrome
>start using chrome with a new skin and firefox with micro-transactions instead
Maybe you should start thinking about looking back.
Mostly because it is unique in its customization capabilities and satisfies my privacy concerns.
I pity the fools who use Chrome, because they don't know any better.
>>54674535
>I stopped using Firefox when they started copying Chrome
>Now I use a Chrome-based browser
???
>>54671996
But see here chromium sucks balls so
>>54674563
pretty sure it does
>>54673658
then you should know as power user that Mozilla will kill their advanced add-on technology and adopt the limited Chrome variant.
Sure, they add a handful of API to make the most important add-ons work with the Chrome extension system, but a big part of the unique flavor is going to die.
After Webexensions with some special Mozilla only API hit, their almost Chrome transformation is almost done. Only the switch to Servo, which will be an almost Blink carbon copy is missing.
At that point, Mozilla's long way to the Google side of the force is done.
Enjoy your Google ideas dominated Mozilla Firefox after that point.
>>54674596
Brave and Vivaldi are unlike Chrome, they have unique features.
Chrome is fucking stupid, but that Chromium variants are not.
>>54672717
I can do this on Vivaldi while actually using a modern browser
>>54674596
Brave will get advanced theming, tab stacking, page tiling and many other customization features, also a Tree Style tab variant is talked about.
They have recently added an almost full implementation of No-Script to Brave too.
Ask in their Github section, these guys are also not full Chromium, they only use the Chromium rendering part and build the rest of the browser on their own, including most API too.
So, no extension support out of the box, but it is coming.
>>54674535
>tfw Vivaldi and Brave could have been the answers we were looking for
>instead one of them is closed source and the other is based around selling ads
Especially sad about Brave seeing as it could have been Eich returning Firefox to it's glory, they even have people like Yan Zhu on board but what do they do? Turn it into some ad selling experiment.
Why can I barely run 480p videos on Firefox whereas on Edge I can run 1080p 60fps with no dropped frames?
>>54674679
Which you can turn off or remove. Brave is Open Source.
They are working on a fair ads model, something which should be supported.
>>54674698
>They are working on a fair ads model, something which should be supported.
So did adblock plus
look how well that worked.
>>54674679
It is either ads or DRM. Pick your poison.
But there is a big difference between ads flood or chosen ads which do not slow down the browsing experience.
The only alternative is DRM, where no good variant does exist.
>>54674554
Is it you? I'm pretty sure it's you.
>>54673994
I wish Firefox was just as fast and secure as Chromium. I use Firefox and Chromium everyday. Chromium is fast as hell, Firefox is slow, seems bloated and the sandboxing is better in Chromium.
>>54673658
I care about all of this same shit. So I switched to Vivaldi and now I'm much happier.
>>54674679
https://vivaldi.com/source/?lang=en_US
>>54674704
adblock plus is retarded. Native ads blocking is the future, like Opera and Brave does.
Or browsers like Otter or Qupzilla. Also, integrated VPN should be the standard. Something Opera did a while ago.
>>54674698
A fair ads model which still collect user data. Sure it might be "anonymous data", but still user data.
>>54674728
While Vivaldi has features you still should use Brave instead. Most features will there be implemented too.
And Vivaldi is no Open Source, and only Chromium with a web-app and 2 extensions bundled.
>>54674680
I believe Edge has hardware video decoding support or something like that.
>>54674735
>adblock plus is retarded.
because of the "acceptable ads" program.
that's why /g/ uses ublock origin and rages anytime someone posts a screenshot featuring ABP.
If Brave is just going to do the same thing, allowing ads through for sweet sweet sheckels, no one will use it because uBlock & co actually block _everything_
There is no place for "Acceptable ads" in a world where "no ads" is an option.
>>54674739
Well, as said, remove it or turn it off. Both ways no data collection.
If you are too lazy to switch a button, then you have a motivation problem.
>>54674728
>https://vivaldi.com/source/?lang=en_US
Do they have a specific license they release it through though?
As far as I'm aware they are still proprietary with open source components.
>>54674764
That is one of the 3 options.
The other ones are NO ads and tracking
And for the insane guys who want the full program, they can pick ads + tracking
So, Brave fulfills the needs for all 3 kind of users :P
>>54674778
The only closed part is their UI - as they do not want to lose users because of some idiots creating tons of forks if the browser would be fully open sourced.
For a start-up this risk is too dangerous. Once they have more users, they make it open.
>>54674698
>something which should be supported
This is what retards actually believe. Kill yourself, kike-lover.
>>54674679
Seriously, after seeing Brave, I've started to believe that it's actually good that Eich left Mozilla. At least he didn't ruin Firefox with his shitty ideas.
>>54674807
Well, if you want to have instead all content in DRM - then fuck ads, but do not complain later if your dream of an open web is dead for real.
The W3C has already plans to make sure it ends that way.
>>54671490
I want to support free and open source software, and I somewhat value my privacy (because I'm a mentally ill neckbeard). It's not in the best of state now, what with es10 and everything. But I'm optimistic that FF will improve things with Servo and projects like Tofino in the future.
>>54674787
So does literally any other browser with extension support.
>>54674828
Firefox is ruined as soon as Mozilla copied Chrome.
Brendan does at least not copy Chrome. He wants to copy Firefox old, Opera and Vivaldi and Yandex with their design ideas, which are way more superior than Firefox design new.
>>54674796
Sure they will.
Now I'm sure you're a shill. Probably even for free.
>>54674839
Sure, enjoy your soon upcoming carbon Chrome copy called Firefox, done by Mozilla.
What a wonderful world. Your choice is dying and nothing can't be done because Mozilla is only happy if they are Chrome-2
>>54674844
>Brendan does at least not copy Chrome
He literally copied Chrome. And the core feature of his shitty browser is ad replacement. No thanks.
>>54674856
I do not use Vivaldi, because it is only made of 2 bundled extensions and one bundled web-app.
I use Brave.
One one hand. Brave sounds a lot like money before users type thing, but on the other, it does have people like Yan who worked on some pretty essential privacy addons, including Tor.
So the question is, did she sell out or are they actually doing some decent work?
>>54674869
Firefox will end the same way.. a lame Chrome copy.
And Brendan only takes the rendering part while he and his team code the rest of the browser from scratch.
LibChromiumContent is not Chromium.
>>54674680
For some reason, you've got hardware accelerated video decoding in Edge and not in Firefox. First, make sure both browsers are served the exact same video. Up to some time ago Firefox refused to support H.264 due to its patented nature, so websites like YouTube served it VP8 video instead, which is typically not supported for acceleration by your GPU. Take this test: https://www.youtube.com/html5
>>54674882
>Firefox will end the same way.. a lame Chrome copy.
It won't. And I'd rather use a browser that is good now, than one that might become good in the future.
>>54674869
Before i use Firefox which tries so hard to be Chrome, i rather would use a Chromium variant which tries to be something else.
Because i do not support not honest companies. And Mozilla has given up to be honest the moment they started to copy Chrome with adopting their fast release system.
>>54674874
Also. It seems to be at odds at itself a bit.
One one hand it tries to be privacy oriented, and on the other, they want paid ads and shit like that. Seems like it will be hard to keep both parts of their ideas supported since they kinda go against each other.
>>54674906
Firefox is already an almost Chrome copy. UI, Extensions soon. Engine will be Blink similar too.
There is nothing good in Firefox anymore. I rather would use Seamonkey or Pale Moon before i would touch something from that copy-cat assholes from Mozilla.
That guys should be skinned and shot. All at once right trough their heads for betraying power users.
>>54674906
And that is even a too less strict punishment for that fuckers. Their wives should be fucked by a bunch of Islam Nazis from Turkey or Syria or Egypt.
>>54674925
>There is nothing good in Firefox anymore
Be honest to yourself. This is bullshit as fine as it comes. Accounting for all the addons, as of today Firefox is the best it has ever been.
>>54674912
What is dishonest about Mozilla? And they only copy parts which they realize is good, because why wouldn't they? Chrome was the first to do tabs on top, now all browser do it.
Multi-process (and sandboxing) is requested a lot and at the same time people complain about copying chrome?
>>54674858
It makes me sad :( at this point we're just clinging on to hope. Brave would be a decent alternative if it wasn't for the shady business model and CEO
>>54674976
>Brave would be a decent alternative if it wasn't for the shady business model and CEO
How would brave be a decent alternative if the only reason it exists in the first place is because of that shady business model?
>>54672844
>didn't remember firefox 2
>>54674976
What is wrong with the CEO?
I mean, apart from making the shady businesses model. But before that?
>>54674966
As i do not want to use extensions Firefox is not fine for me anymore. I can only change stuff if i use add-ons these days.
That has been different before Australis.
Firefox is no option anymore.
I like opera.
>>54674858
>Your choice is dying and nothing can't be done
I can switch to Pale Moon. Even if the other guy earlier said it's a meme I really don't care that much.
I stick with what I'm comfortable with. That's why I still use Winamp despite the fact people tell me I need a player that takes up twice as much screen real estate and has a bunch of features I don't want and won't ever use.
>>54671490
bc it's a botnet?
>>54671490
>>54674283
fbi incoming
>>54674999
He supported an anti-gay law. He invented JavaScript, a language so shit that everyone has to use some shitty libraries (e.g. jQuery) to make it do what they want
>>54674970
There is no single good feature in Chrome which should be copied.
If you want to be honest and earn respect you have to create your own features and not rip the UI and extension system of a competitor and call it a day.
>>54674970
>Chrome was the first to do tabs on top
so firefox did tabs in the middle until chrome came out?
I'm pretty sure Netflix fucking Navigator had tabs.
>>54674442
Because GNU/Linux has a perfectly fine stable x64 build of FF, and it has had it for a long time.
>>54675030
It was his right to support traditional marriage. Why he should support fucking gays if he isn't one?

First is irrelevant, second is more a sign that he knows what he's doing. Sure it might not be the most loved language around these days, but it's still a damn big sign that he knows how to get shit done.
I'd rather have someone who created a damn language than someone who just sits around looking at demographics and focus group tests and do what they want.
>>54675088
At least no one summoned uncle Adolf yet.
>>54675078
Classic theme restorere is only a lame bandage around Firefox to make it useful again.
Most features Mozilla had included in Firefox 22. They removed it to support SJW who want an equal as dumb product which does not insult the not existing intelligence of the dumbest user and they removed it for Chrome users and general simple fags.
This IS not honest.
>>54674989
I value it's approach to privacy, but yeah I guess that's the only reason it exists
Oh well. Guess this thread is dead now.
>>54675135
Insult? There was no insult. This was just a bit of losing my temper. Not motivated to really insult someone today.
Feeling in a good 8 Bit music mood, so i am peaceful. And you should be thankful for this.
>>54675099
That's a disgusting way of viewing things. Support everyone so long as it doesn't harm you. Protip: allowing gay people to marry doesn't fucking harm straight people

Not like it was a great thread to begin with. You really think we need a why are you using the best browser general?
>>54675151
Don't worry. A similar thread will be created soon after this one will be gone.
Google is trying really hard to get more people to abandon Firefox, but it's not working on /g/.
>>54675123
>Classic theme restorere is only a lame bandage around Firefox to make it useful again.
With Australis + CTR, Firefox has never been so easily and thoroughly customizable. And don't forget you can always edit the raw css if you've got the skill.
>>54671490
Fuck off vivaldi shills
>>54675164
The problem is that SJW want to harm Conservatives, white technology proof males and non gays.
All who are at least one of that upper categories is wrong in their eyes and should convert.
People are already harmed. And not by Conservatives, Christians or non-gays.
>>54675182
Still, lame bandages. Native features are better. A lame bandage is always a lame bandage, no matter how nice the name is or what you can do with it.
>>54675207
Thinks change, grandpa. But you do have the option to make it look like before, so why not be happy with that?
>>54675182
Customization with CTR are always a stranger in the system. Remove CTR and Australis is garbage.
Firefox 20-22 with features was not garbage, also without add-ons
>>54675220
Why should i use a lame Chrome copy if i can use something else which tries to be a better Firefox/Opera old copy?

>Try using opera, it's horrendous in terms of speed.
been trying it out since last night and its essentially as fast as chrom(e/ium) with some extra features, and it consistently uses less ram.
>>54671490
I still use Firefox because FUCK YOU, OP!
>>54675220
Hell, i even would rather use Otter Browser or Qupzilla before i would touch something like Australis.
I used Firefox 22 for 2 years and have picked a good enough alternative afterwards. Free of Mozilla is a good feeling.
>>54675301
Some1 seems to be a butt-hurt being :P
>>54675338
Indeed, Google seems to be very butthurt that intelli/g/ent people don't use their shitty browser or any of its forks.
Treestyle tabs and vimperator.

>Firefox refused to support H.264 due to its patented nature
Goddammit, I understand the cause of Freetards, but at least make stuff like that optional. If patented software works better and is free to use, there's no reason to pretend it doesn't exist.
>>54675383
Firefox is as same as shit as soon as they made their first deal with Google. Since that moment Mozilla got inspired to do many crappy Google decisions too.
Removing features for simple users and jumping on the minimalist bandwagon.
Granted, most people here at /g lack intelligence, but a little bit smarter would be of benefit.
Pityful being :D
>>54675449
Wow, i am a little bit impressed. You really met my level if i have a real good day.

>>54675494
>Firefox is as same as shit as soon as they made their first deal with Google
So... literally forever? I don't remember 1.0 but by the time 2.0 came out they already had a deal and Google was the default search engine.

>>54675560
Not THAT deal. The moment where Google got influence over internal Mozilla decisions and was able to give them "well intentioned suggestions" which angered users and made them switch to Google.
If you can't protect your company from outside influence by other companies you end like Mozilla or Opera (Which even got fucked more for becoming a real Chrome clone because of investors and other people's influence)
>>54675574
How nice, a sword :)
The picture would be impressive with dead sliced corpses without heads.
Otherwise it lacks the little bit of something you know.

As if an OP with "Why do you still use Firefox?" as title and no text was any good of a premise.
>>54675647
What do you expect...
On one side you have the real Botnet flavor fans and on the other side of the table you have the Chrome UI clone +CTR company supporters..
This only ends with shit, because ALL browsers are shit.

Which browser loads and renders your average webpage the fastest?
>>54676952
lynx

Doesn't look like it would render your average contemporary webpage entirely and properly.

But it does render them the fastest.

oh man, remembr when you used to have to know someone to get mp3s? i remember back in the day spending something like 4-6 months trying to get on "the aphex twin FTP" out of norway or somewhere (it had all of the old remixes like the mike flowers debase and compilation tracks like bummy) and when i finally got on one night i was still doing dialup at the time so i remember taking a bunch of post it notes (one to stick on every phone in the house) writing about how my family faced certain death/dismemberment/etc if they dared to pick up the phone at any point between that time (~9pm) and, say, ~10am the next morning. i then basically queued up everything on there and set it to DL and crossed my fingers and seriously prayed to god....
....and then the next morning i had all this new-to-me aphex twin stuff and i was relatively a pig in shit.
of course within 2-3 years napster popped up and then you could just type whatever you wanted to find in a little query box and it'd pop up right there for you. when audiogalaxy came out you could put stuff in a wishlist and leave AG running and then check back a few days/weeks later and you had a bunch of shit.... and now all that stuff is the norm so i reckon kids nowadays don't have any concept of how you used to have to threaten ppl to keep the phones off for ~12hrs because holy shit it took you 4-6 months to finally get on the ONE ftp site that you were lucky enough to get a PW for and all that....
....and we won't even get started on knowing the proper NUP to get elite access to the warez sections on good ol renegade BBSes. ahhhh man those were the days and even tho i <3 the internet and all part of me would gladly give up all my streaming and ubiquity just to have the raw thrill of "the good ol days" back
>c'est la vie, no?
and yes i know, >not my blog and etc etc. forgive me for attempting to continue a convo with an anon who prolly left hours ago =D
>>54677814
I was too young to get into things pre napster. I did start a scene group when I was 14 though and convince a bunch of people to rip vinyls for me. I miss those old days when everything was more social.
>>54671490
Because there isn't anything better. It's kind of sad that the internet has become such an integral part of modern life but we don't even have any good web browsers.
>>54671490
I don't. Switched to Chrome right after Australis came around. Never looked back.
>>54677859
Lewd
I switched to Pale Moon a long time ago.
>>54679400
more like Palememe
>>54679559
What is that even supposed to mean, kiddo?
Fell in love with the NoScript addon years ago and just stuck with it.
When something else as totally customizable comes along, I'll switch. Chrome extensions are gimped, it's chrome doesn't fit in with any OS and is totally uncustomizable and the tabs look somehow worse than Firefox's default but changeable aerodynamic tabs, it's a RAM whore, and it has so many retarded rendering quirks.
>>54672844
Firefox 3.6 was the best fucking browser ever. then along came the tech-impaired hipsters withj their gay agenda and shifted the focus from functionality to appearance.
>>54671490
I use Iceweasel.
>>54671567

Merely pretending to be retarded?
What browser has the best font rendering on Windows?
On Linux I used Chromium and it was 10/10 but now seems every browser has its own shade of shitty

I was told this, but someone on /g/ when i used Opera.
Biggest mistake i have made.
I just recently noticed that Firefox now can play most videos really smoothly, some versions ago it stuttered and crashed like ass when playing youtube 1080p60 vids
I don't. I switched to Chrome when it came out and switched to Opera a few months later.
>>54671490
>switched to Opera today
>dat fucking speed
>>54682354
How can you touch opera after they removed all the unique features and made it into a chrome clone?
or is it "the least bad"?
>>54682522
>How can you touch opera after they removed all the unique features and made it into a chrome clone?
Given he just switched from Firefox I'm guessing he doesn't know how great it once was.
>>54671490
Because it's the best browser right now.
img like opera add on. It uses a regex filter to automatically block/allow images based on domain.
my default is to block all images except for ones from certain domains (i.4cdn.org , google.com/recapthca) etc
i have terrible internet and it speeds things up and even though it is broken since it hasn't been updated since 2013 I can't use a browser without the functionality.

I prefer Firefox in almost every way, but god damn it if I haven't been getting fed up with it. It slows the fuck down constantly and goes non-responsive once or twice a week.
I switched to chrome, and I'm not having any of the slowness problems at all, and no issues with the actual operations, but damnit there's so many quirks to it that ruin my more casual browsings, and a lot of the chrome features designed to 'help you out' come to be a pain in my ass.
Christ, is there a known stable version of firefox that justwerks? I swear every time I update it the problem with non-responsiveness gets worse.
Why is not possible to have the Firefox UI with the rendering and script performance of chrome for pages?
For those of you using firefox, how the fuck are you downloading images from here?
Alt click does NOT work.
Not even the about:config tweak works.
Please tell me there's an addon for this that I haven't found yet.
>>54683571
>>54683581
>>54683598
>right clicking
But I don't want that. That's an extra click.
It's also slow as fuck, imagine trying to download more than one image.
I don't want to download the entire page either with downthemall or a thread archiver.
What I want is hold alt + click on whatever I want to save target as.
>>54683602
right click then press v or k, it is still two button presses, you could use a autohotkey or something to do it in one combo.
>>54683602
>But I don't want that. That's an extra click.
Actually I take that back.
That's TWO extra clicks, with the addition of a window popping up asking you where you want to save as.
I don't want that either, that's still slow and retarded because everything needs to go in downloads.
>>54683614
v is the thumbnail, k is the image, and it still brings up the save as window.
Alt click bypasses that and automatically downloads in download folder.
Apparently this shit has been broken for 6 months and I'm ready to go back to Vivaldi over this.
>>54683618
set up a rube goldberg to pipe it into wget
>>54671567
>Iridium
Their site has a repo that is 404 for the Ubuntu users. Compiling from source works fine.
I just fixed my issue.
Disabling multi-process makes alt click work again.
Fucking mozilla.
If all the other browsers weren't shit I wouldn't even bother.
>>54671490
No better alternative. When there's a decent fork I'll be gone.
Anyone know when otter browser or qupzilla get third party extensions?
>>54679903
>>54674226
This.
My whitelist is 6 years on. I'm too far in to switch
>>54671490
Because Vivaldi didn't turn out well.
>>54683571
about:config
browser.altClickSave;true
>>54684526
Doesn't work in multi-process.
>>54682522
Literally this
>>54682522
>"the least bad"
id say this. people have been saying its just a reskin of chrome but desu the few additions it has over chrome made me switch fulltime. it's just a better version of chrome with any data mining going to chinese people instead of google.
>>54683571
>right click
>save image as
alternative: use wget
>>54683571
Cmd+S
>>54671831
Opera is decently fast for me
>>54671567
I'm replying to you because I'm interested in the beautiful lady that you have posted and she captured my attention.
Can you post more of her?
I didn't read anything you posted, and I don't care, this thread is shit, because it's against the best browser of all time.
>>54685513
But that's slow as shit to do.
Alt click is instant. Bam, image in downloads folder.
Right click makes you go through the context menu, go through the save as window, and THEN you get to save.
That's bullshit and you know it.
>>54671490
Because it's the best. And without extensions is as fast as Chrome. But extensions gives me full protection against malicious sites and that's why I use it.
>>54686713
this is why i suggested wget. i use an alias for it. for other things i save stuff to different location based on file type and topic so the dialoge makes sense.getem() { wget -e robots=off -rHE -Di.4cdn.org -nc -nd -nv -Rs.jpg,html "$@"; }
>>54686894
But that's not what I want.
I just want to click on a few images, not fuck with anything, and have it in my downloads folder.
>>54680821
Firefox 3.6 was slow as fuck. The speed improvement towards Firefox 4 was insane.
>>54687832
4 was also when it started going downhill
It's free, safe, its addon and customization possibilities suit me, and most importantly I'm not a /pol/fag neanderthal who uses dog shit like Vivaldi or Pale Moon out of spite when my security and convenience is at stake.
