I switch habitually between Firefox and Chrome and never really notice a difference. I think at this point they're both so fast that it's negligible

I'll wait for a vulnerability to emerge in 56, then go to 52 ESR, then Waterfox or something.
Gutting the XUL system just turns Firefox into a shitty Chrome clone, so why even bother with it? ... Copied to Clipboard!

There is barely any reason to use Firefox 57 over Chrome. Firefox 57's addon capabilities are reduced to Chrome's level, and having more addon capabilities was all that kept Firefox in the game.

Firefox allows you to install uBlock Origin on mobile, which I don't believe Chrome does. I never get any mobile ads, even on YouTube.

But a couple hundred mb difference doesnt seem meaningful to me tbh.

Does anybody know why Firefox has five processes open in Task Manager? Why not just one? It's a process per tab (plus the main process), so that if one crashes, the whole browser doesn't go down. Also maybe for other things like certain plugins / add-ons. I think pretty much all browsers do this now. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My biggest gripe outside of noscript not currently working, is having the tabs above the address bar. No easy way to swap the positions that I've found.
