Moving out of Sidekick since the last update has been a total pain in the ass. Which one's comparatively better for a person moving out of Sidekick, Floorp or Vivaldi?

As I've been testing browsers I discovered and fell in love with Picture-In-Picture Mode. Something I didn't previously use but now can't live without

Personally I think Opera GX has the best PiP, followed by Arc, and then Vivaldi along with SigmaOS

Opera GX's has a nice automatic PiP feature and the PiP has good controls for videos and google meet and you can even make it transparent.

Arc's has everything Opera GX has with the exception of the ability to make it transparent

Vivaldi and SigmaOS's are pretty vanilla in comparison but you can use it in cases where you can't with normal Chrome (Brave, Tempest, Edge as well), like on Twitch for example

Are there any other browsers with really good PiP modes?

Hi I am using Firefox as my daily browser in both my android and windows. I have been noticing that firefox in my windows is consuming more resources than any other browser.. It is showing like Firefox (21) and consuming like 4gb of my memory.. Whereas brave shows like brave(21) and consumes around 2.5gb..

I use the extensions like

1. Ublock origin
2. Grammerly
3. Allow Right click
4. Ultrawideo
5. Honey

I use the same extensions except for the ublock origin in Brave.. I tried checking the consumption after removing ublock but it's still the same.

Can anyone please tell me why is this happening.. Is there any way to limit the consumption of resources

Firefox has been extremely slow, sometimes I have to reload a site for it to load it. (Mainly YouTube, but it also happens on any site I try to visit) Like some things will hang on a blank screen and act as it's still loading, but it won't, and I'll have to click the X to stop the loading and reload the page.

There is also Nexus Mods, where when I get a notification, I try to click on it, and it says Connection error and doesn't mark the notification as read. (I have perfectly fine fiber internet)

The Adobe express site just doesn't work, it literally tells you it doesn't support it.

If you can help me fix these issues, I'll definitely stay, as I heard Firefox is good, but my experience with it has been annoying.

People apparently need specs. I don't know why, Firefox is the only browser that does this, but here you go.

For me it would be: Opera GX, with the lightness of firefox, the speed of Chrome, the privacy of Brave, and the PWA capacity of Edge.

Casually just look here every once in a while and it sometimes seems like people recommend a certain browser they like as the only browser you should use.

It got me curious to see how many browsers y’all use and see if I’m just weird for using 5 browsers 😂

Just in case some people are curious, I use each browser for different reason. For example, one browser for normal YouTube or social media browsing, another for shopping, another for streaming, etc.

This thing is efficient. Bare bones, sure. But it doesn't take many system resources.

To test, I have 5 tabs open: GitHub, CNN, The New York Times, Product Hunt, and a Google Sheet.

It's taking less than a GB of RAM. Not bad, tbh.

This could be a useful browser for people who have a rig without many resources and just want a simple, efficient browser.

For months now, Firefox Mobile has constantly been getting "app has stopped responding" crashes and even hard crashes (multiple times per day) for Pixel users. There's already a bug report about it but the FF team's response is that they aren't going to do anything. They claim it's an issue with the kernel but no other apps / browsers on the Pixel have this problem.

This is beyond pathetic. Maybe this not-my-problem mentality is why Firefox has reduced to less than 1% penetration.

Is there an easy way to transfer as much data as possible between chrome and Firefox? E.g, cookies, bookmarks, extentions, cached files, history etc.

I'm testing vivaldi at the moment and i love their tile tab option, i need the function of the firefox extension that will let you have each tab their own container. The feature got requested many years ago but there is not a timeline yet on vivaldi. Tried these two extension

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sessionbox-multi-login-to/megbklhjamjbcafknkgmokldgolkdfig

but both of them are not working, each time i log in with a new account in a new tab i get logged off from the others.

Anyone has a solution?

I used to be on 8 GB of RAM and using an HDD while using Firefox. Unfortunately, since I don't have a dedicated GPU, 2 GB of RAM is allocated towards video memory. Windows 10 uses about 3 GB of RAM, so I had 3 GB of disposal RAM. The experience was functional, but it quickly ran out of memory at around 15 Firefox tabs and when the committed memory is around 12 GB and 5.5 out of 6 GB of RAM had been used. Once it does that, switching tabs or even using Task Manager to check on memory usage took like 5 or 10 seconds. After I upgraded to 16 GB of RAM those issues completely stopped.

Now, I can have like 15 tabs open, while easily having room to open 5 more. Task Manager now says that Firefox occasionally uses 4.5 GB, but that nary causes a problem now. Before, the maximum amount of RAM is 3.1 GB, but at that point, there is immense hard drive thrashing. When I close tabs now, the HDD doesn't get activated, since the memory just gets deleted from RAM and doesn't require rewriting and deleting from the hard drive.

The committed memory size has remained about the same, but a larger portion of it is now directly allocated in RAM. Hence, there is less thrashing.

My point is that 16 GB of RAM seems necessary for a seamless browser experience and 8 GB will require you to aggressively close RAM and other processes. I just don't see how 8 GB would suffice, especially when Firefox can easily use 2.0-3.0 GB of RAM just by opening like 10 YouTube or Reddit tabs, along with a Discord tab.
