Mozilla looks to challenge Chrome with Firefox Quantum

Well, so far I like it how I don't accidentally click on zhit because the page is still building.

I updated yesterday and, so far, have been very impressed with speed and functionality. Granted, I also noticed a lot of improvements in both 55 and 56 Beta (which seems to have pushed more developers to update their add-ons). Browser is nice and fast (including startup) and I no longer see the noticeable speed difference I used to see vs. Chrome. I'll keep using and recommend others give it a spin. As for the complaint about add-ons not being compatible "yet" there are many alternatives that are. I don't install many add-ons and the ones I do use updated several weeks ago.

Ohhh, that is so irritating!

Speed isn't the main criteria now, security is with all the threats existing, Chrome is still way ahead of Firefox (even if FF decide to follow Chrome's ways and added a built-in sandbox and multi-processes feature).

Just played The End Is Nigh in Firefox 57beta on jump gaming portal (all WebGL games I guess),
"Almost" playable, not as smooth as Chrome... ( my rig: i3-4150 3.5Ghz + Radeon R9 270).

But still a lot better than Edge nevertheless, Edge is like IE all over again...

Based on you playing a game inside a browser. Bravo, just bravo! I couldn't care less whether my browser played a damn game or not, that is not the function I want my browser performing. If I want to play a game, I will download a client for the game.

I am using it as a benchmark for Webgl, what is your problem.

And what's so funny about playing real games in a browser??? You don't have to install anything just click and play, it's fantastic, If you don't like it, leave it, there is a huge market for it. Gee... you are just so full of yourself, only about yourself.

If anybody is curious, we tested with these specs on an entry level laptop in the video above.

And the irony is: that was the impression I had of you when I responded to your comment. I bet you don't realize why All-in-one Printers don't function as well as their independent parts being sold separately. And if you think about it that is why we are continuously having issues with our browsers. Everything is being thrown in them. There is no wondering why there is glitches. You say I'm the one full of myself, yet I'm not the one thinking I can program a browser to do everything.

The main criterion for whom?

For me, it's the ability to have the UI I want with the browser features I want. Nothing else but pre-57 FF and derivatives comes close. Every Chromium derivative as well as FF57 itself gets disqualified for lack of UI customizability (including Vivaldi) before security even enters into it.

After that, it's privacy, then security, with speed coming in dead last in terms of importance. Obviously, it's not a hard and fast ranking; I'm not going to go use Firefox 28 because Mozilla hadn't screwed up the UI to the point that I need several addons (the very same ones they're now cutting off!) to fix it, but as long as FF or one of its derivatives is in the ballpark in terms of security, the other stuff comes first.

Pale Moon and Waterfox, now is your time to shine.

Got it, I didn't know in what order I had to prefer things. Thanks.

Oh, did you think you were me? I very clearly said, "For me" in the post. But if you thought you were me, you must have thought you wrote that post, so why would you even reply?

It was UmbraEmsisoft who unilaterally declared what was the priority... essentially, my post was saying the same as yours, only mine was appropriately directed at someone who was expressing a priority as if it was unassailable fact.

Did you think this thread was a one on one conversation? If you want a one on one, take it to a PM.

What you are talking about? All-in-one printers??? If browsers are all-in-one printers, Chrome is still a better one, at WebGL at least, and this is all I was trying to say.

What about you? what are you trying to say? People who playing web games are laughable just because Firefox cannot keep up with Chrome in WebGL? Please review your logic behind it.
