  • the truth must be told: Firefox is not as optimized as Chrome

    what are you talking about? my desktop pc is amd fx4300. definition of old and subpar - https://i.imgur.com/WBm5Ub1.png - and i have 313 open tabs right now.

    granted, that is slightly more affected by memory, before i updated from 8 to 32 gb recently, it was admittedly slightly more sluggish.

    but at the same time normal people don’t really have 300 open tabs at once and also you have to ask what is the threshold where you are willing to sacrifice your privacy for slight speed increase.

    do you have some numbers to support that speed difference, or is it just your feeling, or anecdote that is being passed around and everyone repeats it and everyone believes it, because everyone says so?

    I could do this in about five seconds with Corel PhotoPaint.

    that is because you are familiar with corel photopaint. i could do that faster than you in gimp, because i am familiar with gimp.

    and yes, using tool capable of doing lot of complex tasks takes more time to learn than some single-purpose tool that is optimized to do one task (and even then you have to learn how to use it). that is like wondering that learning to pilot aircraft takes longer than learning to ride on a bicycle.










  • i hardly expect mozilla to abandon the people of an entire country

    that’s not what i meant. i meant that the notice will be only thing that happens to formally comply with the law and everyone will be able to download the firefox “on their own responsibility”

    like when eu banned the classic lightbulbs, there was a discussion in my country because some idiots felt that “the dictatorship of eu is upon them again”

    now these lightbulbs are being sold with the notice “for industrial use only, unsuitable for use in personal homes”. every normal person buys led-bulbs and few thousand idiots are happy thinking how they showed them! 😆
