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

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.

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.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 28-Mar-2024 07:13:29 JST Nazo @nixCraft The only reason I chose Chrome in the first place when Opera died (god I miss the real thing -- I'm not referring to the Chromium clone that calls itself Opera obviously) was that it was lighter and better performing than Firefox at the time. It remains better performing in really constrained environments (such as my Raspberry Pi 4) but in the end is not worth it now that Google has completely lost what little sense they ever had. It's troublesome on my RPi, but I am never going back
