urghhhhh but firefox just doesn't perform as well. i tried, i really did. i found a 15 year old (!!) bug affecting svg drawing performance that was fucking up a page i was working on, i'm not imagining it.
I'm not sure if it's the same one but i just found a similar bug with a five year old comment saying i guess we're not fixing it anytime soon... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483868
I do have it installed and check in occasionally but it feels like a downgrade when i try to use it as a daily driver.
is there any way to get a functional de-googled chromium build with settings sync across devices?
Just curious, does that only affect macOS?
I tried on Linux and saw no hanging nor any cores at 100% usage, bit slow on performance though, yes
I'm on windows but I think the Mac testing bed had the issue too
it was a couple of years ago and I've tried ff since and it's good, there's just always a reason to switch back.
I see, could the bug report have just been forgotten by now? Long time, lol
Anyway, use what works for you honestly, Firefox is cool, but it doesn't have to be the only one
