Just stumbled upon this project, seems rather new as my DNS blocked its domain by default for being too new hehe… Anyone had a chance to try it yet? Its got some hefty promises, like having equally strong privacy features as Librewolf. I’ll be giving it ago at least, almost sounds a bit too good to be true…

Try Floorp.

Also, maybe don’t compare clean chrome install to FF with a half dozen extensions installed. Extensions like Greasemonkey run literally any script you tell them to. An errant line of code and there goes your memory.

Try again, apples to apples dude.

“Moving the goal posts” I fail to see how I’m changing the conditions. I’m explaining a clear and obvious issue in that image which is why it’s not a good comparison.

Okay, extensions require container processes, for each one. Each new extension add to the RAM usage. For both Firefox and Chrome.

So already the comparison is flawed because Firefox now requires more base memory to load those extensions out the gate.

But now, Firefox is clearly showing Tampermonkey in the toolbar, a userscript extension. Let’s just say I run a script that fetches competing price info from temu.com when you browse a site like amazon. Not uncommon.

Let’s say I set that to loop, so it’ll work on infinite scroll pages too.

Okay, now if you leave your browser alone for an hour and it’s refreshing these scripts, guess what happens to the memory?

Every test of current builds of FF vs Chrome has found extremely negligible performance differences when both are stock installs.

Awfully rude just because you don’t like something that you have full control of deciding to use or not.

@Frozyre please keep it a bit friendly. I understand you are mad, but there’s no point in treating other people like this.

can you spot any differences in your browser comparison?

@Frozyre Please, behave yourself. This unnecessary swearing is pointless.

A bit more politeness goes a very long way.

Try being more civil, this will earn you way more support, especially since you want to change people’s minds.
