  • Firefox had some major memory leaks when Chrome first launched (2008). It became noticeable with the more tabs you had and the longer the browser was opened. This was also during the days for consumer systems with 16GB max RAM & 32GB on higher end enthusiast systems.

    We also have to remeber that this was 10 years before Google removed their “Don’t be Evil” motto, and there was still a great deal of trust that had been earned by tech professionals.

    So when Chrome came in, had a minimalist UI (for the time) and was light weight and memory light without any obvious memory leaks, it was a performance boost for a toooon of users.

    Chrome has since become a memory hog and is now being developed and pushed by a company that has become heavily enshittified & evil. Firefox has become lightweight, memory efficient, and is an FOSS product that’s not evil and enshittified making it the right choice in 2024, but is going to be an uphill battle that hopefully more tech professionals move to as Manifest V3 becomes a reality.


  • I switched off of Firefox because of those memory leaks. I remeber when it hit the tech news circles when the community contributer that was frustrated with them went in and fixed two of the biggest culprits.

    Then I just didn’t bother til somewhat recently. For the most part, it’s great and does what ilI want/need. Biggest complaint is that some UX overhauls are needed for Mobile FX, especially around tab management.



  • I vividly remeber the lead up to Jan 6.

    I remeber the language being used by these idiots online. Coded language telling us what was going to happen.

    I remeber people exposing “private” conversation histories private forums, discord’s, etc where these groups were planning Jan 6 to the internet masses and telling progressives, liberals, and other left leaning people to stay away from the Jan 6 proceedings and not to show up to counter-protest. We knew from those exposed convos they planned on using any counter-protester presence as a patsy.

    And of course, I vividly remeber Jan 6 and watching 3 different news streams the same time and and scouring the internet for any live streams from idiots broadcasting their shit on social media. I remeber hey gleeful those fuckers were, how they espoused that “revolution!”, “Hang Mike Pence.”

    I also watched the Jan 6 Senate Comitte Hearings and have read through the highlights of the Final Report.

    The FBI didn’t entrap shit. You fuckers planned this in broad daylight. I’m gonna Look Up when you tell me not to, because I see you for the liars you are.
