I do that (100+ tabs open at any given time) due to my work (research tends to take up a ton of windows) and because I’m too scatterbrained to focus on a single thing at once, but even then I find that Firefox is really good and arguably better than Chrome. Maybe Chrome has improved since I switched over, but Firefox uses significantly less resources than the Chrome that I remember
You sound like someone that doesn’t open 200+ tabs of furry adult imagery on e621 while playing processor intensive games.
I mean… I’m obviously not that person either, but it would be cool to have the RAM to support it or the correct web browser if I was that type of person. But I’m not. But having that capability would be nice (not because I need it).
…I don’t look at furry porn.
32GB of RAM is less than $50, I just built a new PC, and it was the easiest upgrade I made to my build, regardless of what you put in your tabs

Cool, now how much is it outside “the US and maybe select parts of Europe where it’s close enough”? Because not all the world uses dollars, and certainly not US dollars.
Probably depends on where you are, how much is it for you?
It ultimately doesn’t matter where I am from. I’m just trying to highlight the fact that not all the world is the US.
I’m relatively familiar with the global population distribution, but not at all familiar with the pricing differences. It’s the price of RAM drastically different outside the US?
I have actually always found Firefox to perform better. Especially compared to the RAM whore, Chrome.
I have ~800 tabs open in Firefox, no real issues unless I flip through all of them or Tab Groups shuffles them all around. My desktop until recently was over a decade old and the new one is barely any faster.

Firefox is beautiful
Firefox supremacy! Keep the non-chromiuim branch alive forevermore, no centralization please.
non-chromium branch
There’s a chromium branch‽
That’s just my werid phrasing, I mean the non-chromium branch that is Firefox and its backend.
first of all, this meme gets posted a lot. second, but more importantly, the format should be reversed. in this scene of the film, Peter Parker sees clearly without glasses, and blurred with glasses, coz he’s been bitten and his eyesight is restored. /flies away
Firefox is indeed amazing but since chrome is so widespread a lot of sites primarily focus on supporting that - and thus i cant always use firefox. its a bit annoying
“Wait, it’s all Chrome?”
“Always has been 🌏👨🚀🔫👨🚀🌌”
sadly, firefox is in fact hte lone bastion against the tide of evil. And even now, we need to abandon MS and IOS. I am not even sure Linux is thsat good. We need a new OS which will defeat all virii. Yes, an OS built on completely new mechanics, to again begin the new pc revolution!
I am not even sure Linux is thsat good.
I’ve been using linux mint for a year or two now maybe. It’s fine, and actually there are several things I prefer compared to Windows.
One of the main issues with Linux as a PC OS is that you can’t run as much different software as you can on Windows. This is largely due to the user base being smaller(IE, why develop an application for an OS when 99% of you userbase is not using that OS).
Creating a new OS to compete with Windows would have the same issue, and would also struggle to compete.
Also, there are so many different versions of Linux(distros), as in there are 600+ different distros so if you don’t like one, there are many to choose from. Not liking Linux based on one distro is saying you don’t like ice cream because you tried strawberry ice cream and didn’t like the taste.
That’s my main complaint with Linux. I really want to switch over, but the software compatibility is abysmal, and I would rather not run a virtual machine or dual boot. I’m really glad that Valve is at least helping out with software compatibility on the gaming side, but compatibility really just needs to improve across all software in general
I’ve been using TempleOS to fight back against the demons.
Dude was insane… But he made a hell of an OS lmao
Make a man spit his tea.
you bastard. I though some nifty form of linux was out. That was a cringe click.
What’s with all these comments saying Firefox is slow!? I’ve never noticed FF slowing down? I also can’t find anything online particularly damning (they all are pretty close in scores. No massive performance numbers for one or the other). I thought this was just a common misconception. Can anyone explain?
Firefox is slower on synthetic benchmarks compared to Chromium ones but I’ve never seen a noticeable difference while surfing sites.
Then there’s Safari on iOS….
Firefox all day every day!
Meanwhile on iOS, bottom image is all Safari.
Hopefully not for much longer…
I really like Vivaldi. Their management even seems kinda ethical.
I don’t know if it’s just ethical or their unwillingness to improve but they have left a lot of issues open for several years.
Issues like -
- Auto dark mode for web pages - they removed it when Chrome for Android dropped it, but never picked it back up. All other browsers have it now
- Geolocation on Mac. Their argument is weird for this and the issue is still there for over 5 years
- A lot of changes nobody asked, something like address bar auto complete, which they forcefully changed to top sites without even giving options
- Slowdown because of bloat - while a lot cliam that it isn’t the case, Vivaldi has brought my M1 Mac to its knees, even with brand new instace. Again only one to do so
absolutely proprietary
“Vivaldi browser is part open-source, part closed-source” They can make it sound great, but in the end its not. https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-browser-open-source/
You can make Firefox crazy fast if you fiddle with the settings and with the ublock origin enough. There’s no reason to be using Chromium unless you’re daily driving a website that doesn’t support the Gecko engine

Do you know of any vi extensions or configs I can look at for Nyxt. The OOB experience isn’t great, but I see the potential. EDIT: Also tree tabs if possible
deleted by creator
Thanks. I’m not so much interested in tree tabs for switching around, but to bulk close tabs based on origin. Basically to bulk delete tabs based on how they were created. But it seems flexible enough.
Ladybird should add another option at least, I’m curious to see it in action.
“everything is Chrome in the future!”
