   Is your browser relationship on the rocks? Time to confess: why haven't you given Firefox a chance? 😉 #opensource #unix #linux

     @nixCraft Firefox is like a lot of *nix- it's a promise of fleet and sleek but really suffers from the mange. After coming from a world where a "Window System" was a row of ADM-3a terminals and a chair on wheels, when all is said and done of 40+ years of various kinds "browser" type of presentation, they all seem like milk past its pull date by now.

     @nixCraft Unreliable commitment to performance has been a problem for me historically. They update and they're the fastest thing around for like 2 weeks, then a Chromium change wipes out their lead for 3 years running.

     They pretty much constantly feel experimental - like using unstable packages on Gentoo Linux as a daily driver.

     @nixCraft actually after some of your posts I decided to switch to ff. I use Floorp for a couple of months and there's no reason to switch back to chrome
