But it keeps evolving and I'm sure it will implement your favorite too, if useful.Īs of last year, Firefox pinged telemetry every time you visit certain targeted sites, controlled by the "Recommend extensions as you browse" feature. I used to complain that it doesn't have a permissions system, I then complained that you can't disable add-ons in private mode. But for now Firefox's ecosystem of add-ons is much, much safer (and arguably more useful). And what Mozilla is doing now probably doesn't scale. Of course, it's also true that Chrome is simply the bigger target. All the while reported malware take months to be taken down. And then it's really hard to get in touch with humans. The review system of Chrome Web Store is broken, there's a lot of malware on it, extensions bought and turned malware and then you've got completely legitimate extensions being banned due to some automatic process flagging them. Note however that Firefox was safer even before they introduced their permissions system simply by having a review system that works. But as it is right now, I can't tolerate such lag, for a trivial action I perform thousands of times a day.įirefox does support media keys, but it's experimental and you have to enable them in about:config: But I have been disappointed on this front every single time. I switch back to Firefox roughly once a year after reading how fast it's gotten. From a user experience (I do command, I expect feedback) this makes a huge difference. But Firefox waits until the whole window is built before it displays it, while Chrome opens the window immediately and fills it in. This seems to be another 10-20x difference (though I'd have to record my screen and measure the difference).Ĭuriously, Re: UI lag, I think the actual time until the navbar is usable is about the same. With Firefox it takes about 0.5-1 seconds before anything happens at all. I cannot even perceive the delay between pressing Ctrl+N and a new window appearing. Chrome and Chromium based browsers do that. When I press Ctrl+N, I expect a new window to open immediately. On Chrome the block is 3-18ms (15-50x (!!) faster).
Network inspector says Firefox is spending 150-270ms "blocked" before it even initiates the connection. 1.5 to 2x slower - and that's after all the performance upgrades they've done with Rust and Quantum. Just tested with a "hello world" page (18ms ping).Ĭhrome takes 102-200ms to render the page, Firefox takes 150-400ms.
