Just download more RAM
Still takes 40%
The fun part about percent is that it will increase linear to the source.
I put in a tailplug and put on fox ears every time I use Firefox.
“I’m so used to getting fucked by Chrome and Edge that I just feel like something’s missing if I don’t.”
I actually got kicked out of school because I wouldn’t use internet explorer, but Firefox is still the best option. Always was. Even if you need a special chair.
Please elaborate, sounds like a crazy story.
Well, it was high school, and they didn’t like my tail plug. Kept calling it ‘inappropriate’.
As for the last question, yes the murring and the tail thingy aren’t forbidden, to be clear.
Firefox users may very well be doing that and no one will know because Google is not spying on them through their browser.
Kind of is. Part of Firefox revenue is from Google, who pays to have google as the default search engine
Somebody knows a bit too much 😏
Furrfox
Furryfox was RIGHT THERE
Been using Firefox for years. Still a stupid dumb human, no fur.
Being a furry is a choice, not something that happens to you :) You’ve already taken the first steps
I am urging you both to install the Firefox Waifu Theme :3
thanks, i like the blue one more tho :3
A theme of the outer space where a Firefox girl lives
Sweet. Dreams.
Wait, didn’t you all get the free furry butt-plug when you downloaded FF?
I’ve been walking around with it “plugged in” for 20 years. I did try Ice Weasel once, but that was simply too cold for my sensitive insides.
Firefox is for the weak.
Real men use NCSA Mosaic.
I just telnet to port 443.
Me circa 1993: This world-wide web thing is interesting, but it will never replace Gopher.
True story.
Gopher had Veronica. With the WWW, look at what the mess we have.
Me too! I remember mansplaining to my girlfriend at the time how long it would take to visit a page and download images, and how nobody would wait that long to see pictures of cats. I underestimated how much people really want to see cat photos.
Do I want to know what “murring” is?
Do you?
that depends on how into furries you are
Ignorance is bliss then.
Say “Murr” like you’re a dog. Thats basically what it is
i just want a web browser that doesn’t cause me to have strokes, and doesn’t give me internet aids.
How fucking hard is it to write a piece of software jesus fucking christ.
Motherfucker have you tried looking at a browser implementation? It might just be the single most complex piece of software on the planet today. It’s basically an OS, JS environment and GUI toolkit in one
thats exactly the problem.
That would make sense as to why it’s such a dogshit piece of software, wouldnt it? That’s why windows is bad after all.
Also fun fact. I recently had a spat with firefox taking like 30s to startup, apparently for SOME fucking reason, someone thought a 25s timeout would be sane in the event that discord doesn’t detect xdg-desktop-settings or whatever the specific was.
Best thing about Firefox is stability somehow it works nearly all devices
So for some reason Firefox doesn’t work most of the time on my parent’s ISP. It simply doesn’t find sites 80% of the time. I can take the same wifi adapter and move it to my place and it works fine. I’ve messed arounfld with different DNS and stuff, and I just can’t get it to be reliable there.
It’s super annoying.
Aww man that sucks but hey atleast you can try Firefox forks maybe they can work
It sounds like an issue with DNS-over-HTTPS. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https Changing the DNS in the network settings of the operating system would not fix that.
And other browsers work fine? That seems really weird.
Yep.
My favorite part of Firefox is Ublock Origin.
Mine is the tail plug, but UO is a strong second.
Does the plug get sent to you automatically or do you have to register somewhere?
I was browsing for plug-ins and extensions and after I installed a bunch, it just appeared.
Which is unavailable on Chrome?..
Google is in the process of undermining the effectiveness of uBlock Origin and other adblockers on Chrome and other Chromium browsers. I believe that change comes into effect this year.
But even before those changes were announced, uBlock Origin’s creator and main dev has stated that uBO is most capable on Firefox.
If it still works, I believe it has been neutered
It works 100% still as far as I can tell (my parents use Chrome with BO)
Till June, when Google starts dropping support for manifest V2 and you’ll have to use uBO lite.
Does it work flawlessly on Android, iOS, and desktop? I’m really asking, because I ditched Chrome when it was less shitty than it currently is…
mobile Kiwi browser supports desktop chrome extension but has only android version
All iOS browsers have to use Webkit (or did last time I checked). So there’s not much of a point of running Firefox on iOS. It’s basically the same browser no matter what browser it says it is.
Isn’t the EU in the process of killing that Webkit-necessity?
It is, but Apple being Apple, they are going all malicious compliance and will break evening else for non-Safari browsers lol
Also this only applies in EU. To use 3rd party apps stores you won’t be able to leave the EU for more than 30 days at a time as well
people don’t complain to get solutions, they complain so everyone knows how miserable they are
and to shame people into making a solution, hopefully.
Or at least that’s what we tell ourselves. Because it makes us feel better.
Firefox uses lots of RAM
And not very efficiently either, can’t seem to handle 99+ tabs and starts getting unstable as you get closer to that number.
Chrome at least can handle 300-600 tabs across 30 windows (The most I’ve ever pushed it) without breaking a sweat
Use bookmarks
OK now my laptop is full of paper what now
i run it at 500avg, it’s perfectly fine
I think you have a tab problem.
I suggest you try out a 12 step program. Tabaholics Anonymous works.
I am not sure what you can possibly expect of any program. That is absurd.
Well if Chrome “The RAM Eater” can handle it, then it’s obviously not that absurd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And I thought I was a monster with 50 tabs.
Man the highest tabs amount of tabs i get up to is in the 30s, and only in private browsing mode.
deleted by creator
Hell the fuck no, I only ever run a single tab in edge, the tab to download another browser
FUCK edge
That’s one more tab than you need, tho.
(Hint: use an OS that comes with Firefox – and a package manager, for that matter – by default.)
winget install --id Mozilla.Firefox
For win10/11, you should be able to bypass using a browser and install directly from an elevated cmd using winget.
They used Chrome in the instructions, but it works with Firefox too. (It’s my preferred method.) https://www.how2shout.com/how-to/a-single-command-to-install-google-chrome-on-windows-11-or-10.html
The winget package manager should already be installed on updated systems, but if not, you can install it from the Microsoft Store app. It is listed as ‘App Installer’ and is authored by Microsoft.
Well, I HATE having many tabs open. Just bookmark them for later. So far, FF is friendlier with how I go whereas the last times I tried Chrome, it often allocates RAM at launch for a thousand tabs that will never exist (hyperbole but you get it)
Oh whoops, I should close some windows, because I currently have 623 open tabs in Firefox across 107 windows. It’s working fine, even with all my plugins running. Firefox is good at unloading dormant tabs.
They’re probably talking about their experience on their hardware, we don’t know what machine or what version of Firefox they’re talking about. (It’s possible it’s a really old version and not really relevant now or it’s possible their experience is valid for their hardware)
What could you possibly be doing with 600 tabs??
Ambien?
Yep, I use Firefox for the idea, but let’s stop kidding ourselves that it is in any way memory efficient or fast
My Firefox is sitting happy eating about 30GB of RAM right now…
How many tabs do you have open?
Yes.
So you have 64gb total?
Maybe just 32 GB?
