You are probably right. My memories are of using Firefox on a PC with a mechanical hard drive. Back then Chrome seemed to have the upper hand. But these days Firefox loads instantly when you have an SSD. So yes, please ignore my earlier argument.

Is webp better than png?

Interesting. I did not know that.

I remember Chrome starting nearly instantly. But that could be that it’s doing some preloading. I haven’t used Chrome in years though. 2 seconds for Firefox startup sounds about right yes.

As for memory, I wouldn’t say Firefox is great. But I often have a lot of tabs open at once while I am researching some things and Firefox is just rock solid for me. It has had some memory leaks in the past but they seem to be mostly gone now. You’d probably find browsers that use less memory but I dare to question if they would use less memory than Firefox in my usecase.

In an unrelated note I am curious which modern browser (in Linux) uses the fewest amount of memory.

My advice would be the latter. That case you can always use the same browser, no matter what OS you decide to use in the future.

Firefox has been slower to startup for a long time. Maybe a few seconds slower compared to Chrome. But it has always made up for it in it’s memory usage. The more tabs you open, the worse Chrome gets.

I think I started using it in the 1.x times. I remember all the flaws it’s had since. I’ve given lots of other browsers a try in the meantime but none come close to Firefox. They might be good enough for others but for power users Firefox is the way to go.

Firefox for sure.

This sounds like the point where you dive into the next rabbit hole of making enclures. At least I could see that happening.

I’m looking to make some wooden enclosures for some things myself.

Probably Commander Keen 4 and Prince of Persia in black and white on my dad’s 286 pc.

The fact that some of us own land and others the rest of us have to pay them to live on it.

Or the fact that we have to pay to have a roof over our heads. Like how is that not essential to living? Why are there people making money out of essential things like housing, schools, electricity, water, etc?

[Edit] Whoops, I did not intend this to be a comment to you.

I think they know what it means, but they just wanna complain about quasi-related stuff.

I currently use myfreemp3juices.cc

True, true.

What is there to talk about? We only know what’s being shared outside of China. Which is not a lot. I watch the China show, which seems one of the few sources that doesn’t just regurgitate the government propaganda but we can only do so much.

The best course of action for her is to leave China. Maybe not an option for her due to personal reasons, but staying in Shenzhen is her choice.

no, it was the power LED

And then you find out they were mainly working from the cloud.

Good idea. i’ll do the same.

This got dark fast.

R.I.P. mother and son.

The problem I have with this is that if he’s known for these things and he knows it, why not hire someone to do the communication for him instead of making the same mistakes every time. Or is he too stubborn or not smart enough to realise the damage he is doing to his brand?
