Just uninstalled firefox and replaced it with chromium, and it takes up about a third of the memory on average so far. The chromium package was 55mb, the firefox package was like 127mb or something. all of my bookmarks and settings and shit were transfered over with the click of 1 button and it took about 2 seconds. chromium is noticeably faster too.
also the font rendering was completely fucked and it's fine in chromium.

SJWs ruin everything. Diversity hires, etc.
Jonathan Gray
google is full of them too tho right?
Elijah Turner
Maybe not as many working on the chromium project. Make no mistake, chrome will be shit one day too
Michael Adams
Meritocracy still works for Google. According to a recent chart (wish I saved it, anyone has it?) they are trying to hire all kinds of nonwhites then firing them faster than you can say "buyers remorse".
Meanwhile Mozilla is phasing out meritocracy. Skin color and gender>>>>>merit (especially if its a white male) they are not racist or sexist btw.
I have begrudgingly started using chromium alongside firefox last month
Kevin Jackson
Flat and solid color themes are better than non-solid. Point and case - Papirus icon theme. Colors that change are fucking gay and ugly. Solid colors are better.
Google is still a very set in stone hierarchy as much as they want to pretend otherwise. There is no equality in a hierarchy. Google makes it easier for their shitty diversity hires to actually produce worthwhile code by creating things like Go and Flutter, hard to fuck shit up when you're literally building between rails.

imagine being a retard and not knowing that double the binary size for less functionality is bad and indicates more memory usage from the get go.
Hunter Harris
But I CAN HAVE SO MANY MORE TABS NOW like at least 2x as many as what pre-quantum firefox could have before it started crapping out and freezing and for only 5x the RAM usage!
>google-diversity-problem Just fuck me why can we not fucking hire based on the merit of the person rather than autisitc screeching about the fact that the most qualified person got the job. Fuck this gay earth.
Gavin Flores
>waterfox Fuck the botnet off, please.
Evan Gomez
wtf are you doing? even with 100+ tabs open i'd only get ~2gb-4gb usage
That isn't because of efficiency, but because the unused tabs are unloaded. Come back when you're even using 50 active tabs.
Levi Price
cheers!

for some reason firefox is nowhere near as good on windows as it is on linux; i no longer get native print to pdf functionality, i had to play with the handlers to get pdfs and magnets to open properly, also the tab blanking restores way too slow on windows but is almost instantaneous on linux. i just wish they implemented a XUL sandbox layer rather than removing it entirely.
also with 40-50 media tabs open on firefox quantum on linux i only use about 3gb of RAM and runs much faster than chromium. i can't help but think that FF is made with linux as a first class citizen but then again, their aggressive advertisement injection through pocket makes me think otherwise.
If you think people leaving is them being fired, you're fucking retarded. Google hires overqualified nonwhites, then tells them to effectively sit on their hands. They get bored, and leave.

this is only on Linux. On Windows the font rendering is only slightly worse (or even better in some people's opinion)
Ethan Bennett
decent bait, tricked me into looking up what e621 is

how botnet is chromium?

Chromium also has cleaner and more minimal UI which is actually the main reason why I use it.
Julian Green
Monosodium glutamate?
Logan Rodriguez
It works fine for me. Also >packages sizes >not including dependencies

Christopher Rivera
leaving != fired there, is that clear enough for your retard brain to wrap around?

Meritocracy is a terrible excuse. A fully White company will always outdo those that aren't, meritocracy or not.
Connor Lopez
Do you have anything to substantiate that? I'm not in favor of diversity for diversity's sake but I can't imagine there's any data to back this claim.
Isaac Wood
>implying >citation still needed Hurts to think huh?
Adam Ward
And you got anything to back that up? I literally can not give less shits about what nationality, sexuality or political agenda you follow if your code is good.
basically the exact same thing as Chrome at this point use Iridium or ungoogled-chromium if you don't want Firefox

Is that Task Manager, or are you using some another special program to display the processes?

unused ram is wasted ram
Luke Turner
Unused RAM should be used for other programs, not to fuel one piece of bloatware.
Grayson Sullivan
Sure thing kid

>chrome will be shit one day too Wait.... WHAT???
Chrome doesn't have even a button for the bookmarks. You have to install a plugin to have a fucking button to open the bookmarks menu. Plus many other stupid things that browser lacks.
I'm sorry don't talk negatively about the BEST browser to ever exist. How about you actually try to use it before you talk shit about it because if you knew anything about Firefox it's that it's the ABSOLUTE best browser to EVER exist
>text and some images >he doesn't know about the cancerous javascript in the Jow Forums website
Thomas Cooper
firefox never releases memory on appleshit >muh unused memory fallacy then the system starts paging and everything turns super sluggish fuck you firefox
Joshua Cox
if it isn't a webm demonstrating all tabs are active, i dont give a flying fuck nice empty new tab to inflate # of tabs tho LOL shills are D E S P E R A T E
Michael Carter
>All tabs must be active >Complains about memory
Jonathan Sanders
>disfear very nice friend
Landon Nguyen
Literally right click on the bookmarks bar
Hunter Morales
so firefox isn't efficient at all then because what we're talking about here is efficient ram usage, not the fact that all modern browsers unload inactive tabs
Jack Gray
What are you talking about?
There is no button for the bookmarks menu, only that awful bar.
Eli Diaz
he is probably trying to upload 42 terabytes of child porn :~/
Jacob Ortiz
>it takes up about a third of the memory please not this shit again
it uses memory because there is available memory unused memory would be wasted memory
I can't play a YouTube video on chromium, meanwhile Firefox works perfectly Then again Firefox required me to install pulseaudio so idk. Firefox is faster so idc about install size that's a nonfactor
Jace Scott
What program are you using there?
Hudson Morales
I upgraded from Firefox 53 to 60. I could add thousand of torrent files before in transmission. Now it makes it crash. No more downthemall. Firefox is dogshit now.
William Perry
> firefox > slow > not using the far superior ESR version pretty sad state of affairs.
Isaiah Myers
this is always far better than their mainline release.
