iirc the firefox javacript interpreter is much slower than chrome's. I guess the lag is most noticable in JavaScript heavy sites?

Yep. I was very young at the time but what I remember is firefox being spoken of as kind of a "hack" to make everything web-based faster compared to IE.
Then chrome came out and firefox was completely replaced. It felt like an instant change. Anyone that knew anything about computers was using chrome.
I think that chrome is still living off its glorious past.
While Mozilla is far from perfect, I think they've managed to avoid getting shitty for almost 20 years.
Thank you for the kind wodrs. Sadly I'm not looking for an app for myself but for my girlfriend.
I got my BA in the UK years ago, and I've made a fool of myself plenty of times, both culturally and linguistically. And you're absolutely right, it really is the only way to properly learn a language.
If you're looking for efficiency, nothing beats a static website.
You're right. When you put it like that, calling it obscure sounds like an exaggeration. Though it's probably one of the least spoken Slavic languages.
I fully agree with you about having real conversations with real people. The thing is, you need some confidence before being able to speak the language, especially to native speakers. And for some people that comes with a bit of practice by themselves. Thats what I find apps like Duolingo help with.
You see, one of the goals is to be able to enjoy media in English together. The problem is that she quickly gives up after encountering too many unfamilliar words or constructs.
Thats why I'm looking for an app to help her get a bit more confident.
That's what we've been trying so far, but unfortunately it does not work for her.
Just took the test for myself and it looks very promising. Thanks!
I thought I shouldn't doxx myself so much, but whatever. Our native language is Bulgarian.

May I ask what are you using now?
