chrome is infuriating and unusuable because of the combined address + search bar, good to know firefox is getting even better :toot:

if you press ctrl k, or just type a ? in the address bar in chrome you start a search, and if you type a vaguely shaped url with a / in it then it tries to resolve it

for whatever reason, chrome's been using like 1gb of ram per open tab(only addon is ublock).

like :cmon:
neither edge or Firefox use a tenth the amount of ram for the same sites.

there was an amazing period after i got broadband and a proper internet browser, and before every site started loading about 1500 trackers, where most things would take like half a second to load. it was brilliant.

now even pressing the back button is a multi second load on some browsers (although safari has generally been pretty good in this regard)

I don't use ad blockers because the only difference I've noticed with them is a full screen "plz turn off your adblocker", I don't believe ad blockers eliminate or cut down on ads. I don't want to pay LowTax $5 for no ads, I assume he will probably make more than $5 off the ads at the top of the page. If I did choose to go with no ads I would do it because I wanted too not because it is the only way to stop the spam.

Of course it keeps happening here, always originates from the same URL, voluumtrk.horizon-trading.com

i have not received any reports of edge loving poo poo up (because nobody uses it lol).

safari, however, is basically guaranteed to break when handling any relatively new protocol in ways that no other browser does.

edge still misses relatively new stuff that chrome and Firefox supports but yeah for the most part it is better than safari, the new ie of browsers

actually the ie of browsers is still ie which is the second most used browser today (not including edge)

wish i could get it with servo for a backend, tho. the ui blows anything else out of the water and they've done the best they can with chromium/blink

has it reached opera-12 levels of functionality yet

I forget which version I last tried but it was at least 2 years after the blink transition and major bits were still missing

edge scrolling on 144 hz monitors is cool and good but GD edge loves to turn off ublock all the time for some reason.
