Can someone remind me why we stopped using Firefox a while back? There was some piece of news that broke everyone’s trust, but I can’t remember what Mozilla did. Was it a change in their user agreement?

    A: Not all of us did.

    2: It sucked for a while, performance went down the toilet till they rewrote the engine in quantum.

    Honestly threading was horrible for a decade there, while chrome had multi-processes running solid, even extensions didn’t kill it, even if it burned 500gb ram to browse bash.org.

    Experiments were bad too, but you could shut those off.

      Yeah, it’s amazing how few people remember just how terrible its performance tanked. The memory leaks were truly unbearable.
