@Alice the import was actually fast, although a couple of extensions didn't come across automagically.
Interesting that they were on both chrome/edge stores though. Minor thing really.
The send to phone / send to pc is a lot nicer then chromes implementation.. I can see myself actually using this.
Collections?
Ooooh wtf!
Bookmarks on steroids!
I can somehow seeing myself getting comfortable with this, hmm there's something I never thought I would say 😂
As much as Firefox tries to be the browser to go to, I've never enjoyed it, the quantum version almost did it for me. -
@F1973 first real impressions, it seems usable.
Ram is around 500mb with the 19 plugins I have and 1 tab, that was 1-1.2 GB with chrome.
You have access to edge and chromes extension stores so you can install either with no issues but seems a lot of the extensions i use are already in the edge store.
I had to install Bitwarden manually but what ever 🤷♂️
Extension configurables have also come across - that helps a lot in not having to reconfigure anything.
No BSOD on launch... so already winning 😅 -
@C0D4 19? :o now I'm curious
Could you list the most important one you're using?
Glad you're liking the switch so far, though!
@Alice I haven't found too many issues with Firefox, but it does need lots of work to make it like I want. I can definitely understand why some can't be bothered.
I'll give Edgium a go once my work "lappy" (it's your fault I'm using that word @Root) gets updated -
@Jilano You’re welcome 😊
-
@Jilano 🤔I'll get the list for you.
Everyday use:
- Bitwarden
- GitMaster
- ublock origin
- https everywhere
- modHeader
- Requestly
- Salesforce API Fieldnames
- Salesforce Lightning Inspector
- Dark Reader
When I need to:
- Builtwith technology Profiler
- colorpick eyedropper
- disable Js
- enable rightclick
- Gofullpage screen capture
- Page Monitor
- Privacy Pass
- Visual Event
- React Developer Tools
- WebRTC network limiter -
@C0D4 Arigato Mister Roboto!
I'm sharing a few with you, but others I have no need to. I'll check them out in details just to be sure!
PS: You can disable JS with uBlock Origin directly, no need another add-on for that except for convenience -
@Jilano there's a few of these that are redundant, I just haven't removed them 😅
Color picker is built into ms power toys now so I can even remove that! -
@Alice I don't block JS by default.
But having a means just to toggle it on/off when needed is convenient. -
@Alice, saves opening settings, finding Javascript, adding the block / allow list.
I can just push a button for a temporary block, without leaving the page. I only ever disable for testing purposes.
Nice try
Thats what i saw on a wall in New Delhi, India... Lol
Ha good try
Today, I say farewell to a piece of software that has shared my professional uprising as a dev, today I let go off an old friend, today i uninstall chrome, after nearly 12 years of dedication, hard work and pain staking performance issues from time to time, you went from the child star that fixed what was wrong with browsers back in 2008, and became the abusive man child that crashes my system when I open you now, so enough with your bullshit.
Today I transfer my things to Edge(chromium) and say farewell old friend, there's only so many BSOD's you can cause just by launching a new tab without hardware acceleration before I can not stand the sight of you anymore.
I wish you a good and stable life, but your creators obviously couldn't give a fuck anymore about being the "light weight and fast" browser you once were.
rant
all good things come to an end
chrome
11 years of freindship
trading you in for a new model
edge
bye bye
