Why is it so shit? Will it ever get good again? I hate having to use chrome, but fagfox is totally unbearable and feels slow and bloated

I dunno, Anon, seems like development is stagnating, however, it could possibly get better soon™.
I've switched to something webkit/blink based though, as I don't want to be in the chokehold of Mozilla development.

I don't think that's the biggest problem they're having right now.Still waiting for sandboxed tabs and multi-threading.
>>
>>55432041
If you don't add any extensions, FF fucking blows Chrome off the charts.

Though, the whole point behind FF is customizing it to your particular preferences.

Chrome addon are the FUCKING WORST. Firefox still has the best addons around.

I have 50 addons running in FF, and I use them all daily.

Because they started to care more about social justice than being a good browser, so chrome is kicking their ass. Pale Moon is pretty decent but less and less sites are supporting it so . . .

It's a shame you can't really theme chromium.

Isn't that what container tabs are? You can enable those in about:config

e10s? Can also be force-enabled in about:config

Chromium is just as much botnet as Chrome, especially with the google login crap.

I would like to know why everyone has a problem with ff except me.

Mine's just vanilla firefox with clean links, ublock origin, and ghostery. And when I say "I have literally no problems," people yell "shill" at me. Believe me, if I could be paid to have a functional browser, I would, but I'm not.

So why the fuck am I the only one with a functional FF browser. I don't get it.
>>
>>55435526
All of the development for Chrome and Chromium is done out in the open. If there was a botnet that was forming because of it Netsec people would have been all over it.
>>
>>55432041
I mean, I understand saying firefox is shit because of its SJWs or because you don't like the UI or something,

but it's only slow if you run it on a toaster and only bloated if you want it to be... on the other hand chrome is a RAM eating monster, THAT you could say is slow (if you don't have enough RAM) and bloated, but not firefox.

tldr: 5 GBUX have been deposited to your Google Wallet

>>55435357
>container tabs
bullshit
>>
>>55435581

Not if they are the ones planting it. Anyway most of Chromium's devs are google employees and will conveniently lie about such things if their jobs depended on it.

The people bitching are the children who didn't have parents that cared enough to tell them to put their toys away- they leave the browser open 24/7 with a ton of tabs instead of using bookmarks properly, and then bitch when performance drops over time.

if firefox isn't responsive for you then I have something to ask: what brand is your toaster?

>want to give the new ff a try - picking nightly of course

So this... is the power... of e10s. My last Firefox was 3, how could it all become so bad since then.

I went back to botnet today, it's much better. Try opening 10 wikia pages without disabling flash and compare it with Chrome. Firefox is just bad, even with the sleek skins I couldn't stay with it.

if you could provide evidence of this I'd be all ears, but since absolutely no evidence has been given to render banal malaise I'm going to continue with my original judgement.

Chrome developers don't trust their shitty code for anything. Why do you think multiprocess (which fails all the time) was such a priority for them?

Just because you're too much of a NEET to pick these kind of things up, doesn't mean the rest of the world is as well.

That whole post just proves what kind of malicious fucks you are trusting with your privacy. Imagine what would have happened if those developers didn't notice (happens all the time in opensource) the botnet being placed.
