Why the browsers performance have been shit by the past year or so?
They used to work just fine.
The moment i install Firefox (Clean) performance goes to ground same for Chrome.
In a poorly optimized kind of way. Also adblockers just won't work.
Opera works like silk but compatibility is very low unless i install the chrome hack.
As you can see i'm a /g/ newfag.

Pale Moon is decent, but I've noticed Windows support recently is the real issue. I run Debian host with a Whonix VM running the latest version of Iceweasel with minimal performance drops.
But as >>2472 said, Pale Moon is a good alternative with uBlock.

Because web development has become bloated over the years and browsers have become application platforms instead of just text parsers. Doing everything from a browser is an idiotic idea, specially considering the quality of the software we have available.

This time they did you a favor. Adobe Flashplayer is horribly vulnerable. Doubly so on linux.
If you must have flash then at least use:

OR
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/download.html
If you use gnash then use the nightly builds or compile of the git repo.
The "beta" releases are really outdated.

I don't even use Flash, it's the principle that bothers me. FireSucks has always pretended to be about freedom, customizability, "it's a browser for the user!". That's how they got popular. But now we see their true colors. They removed the ability to disable javascript from the browser, they placed ads in your "new tab", and now they tell you which add-ons you can or can't use. They're a bunch of filthy liars and they will come for your Adblock too, soon. Where will you go then?

Ok, ok, it's managable, you could install some anti-shit extensions, but then you're back at square #1, since it makes your browser less stable and slower.

It's about the direction the browser is taking. They advertised themselves as being about customizability, freedom, as being "for the user", but constantly make decisions against those slogans. When they announced that they're going to put ads in your "new tab", they said that they're doing it so you're "most receptive" to the advertisements. I didn't make it up, you can read it on their website. So it's obvious they're just a front for the advertisers to take control of your mind.
And yes, you can change it NOW, but who says they won't disable that in the future, like they did with javascript and flash? Clearly, they don't seem to care at all about customizability, when they delete options they think you shouldn't use all the time. People will only notice the trend, of course, when an option they've been using all the time is missing. Anyway, just the fact that they DID place the ads there shows what they're all about, even if it remains removable.

No.2863
>>2862
So is it about ads or customizability and freedom now?
Because from where I sit, adding a new option to "a new tab" - the one you can entirely resign from and if you're already an existing user, the one you won't even see - doesn't influence customization and freedom at all.
In fact, you have all freedom to resign from it, and augment your experience with extensions that bring back any functionality you may have been missing.

Then how about you'll worry about it then, instead of starting some jihad against minor changes?

But of course no one will, and I will have fun watching the 1000-post threads on here and elsewhere when they finally remove their precious AdBlock. I give it a year. You can ease the transition by finding a different browser now, instead of looking for "forks" at the last minute, that might be abandoned by then.

How? By erasing it from MozShop? And then what, will they send Firefox Deathsquad to pursue its devs, kill them on sight and erase their content from the web?
And what then, will they also do the same to all people developing similar applications?

I remember the first time I ever opened firefox after installing it, and it gave me some splash page about how they're different from all the other browsers. Instead of trying to be the same and do what's popular with chrome and IE, they were going to do all their own shit.
Not long after that they announced they were changing their version numbers so they could better match chrome, which brings out a new major release every few hours.

Hello and welcome...I'm going to make things very clear. lets begin briefly, shall we? the wonderful shills have ensured that mint's been talked about as attempt to entrap exodus newbies running from windows into settling for another false sense of safety, privacy, and security. These excellent shills are pretending to settle for and install freedom-disrespecting, proprietary mint as well as recommending it in every thread to trick people desperate to switch their OS away from windows.
>"hey look guis, look at me pls, oh...well...! I will just use mint because it's my only option... ;^)"
It is a cheap and common "lemmings over a cliff" style disinformation tactic used to win over people's helpless, FOOLISH minds, and it works surprisingly well... I presume you are all aware of systemd, Correct? It has been made quite sure that the stupid general public believes it's just another pointless thing whiners complain about needlessly... But in reality, systemd effects all Linux OS users!
isn't that great? systemd is an infectious, insidious, and diseased bloated blob plague of systemically parasitic, hypocritical, self-contradictory, purpose-defeating, pretentious, freedom betraying software that its creators daringly pulled off as an init-system! systemd takes away from it's users the freedom of choice and severely limits the control users have over their own computer. systemd is so restrictive and authoritarian to the point that it more than figuratively rapes your whole Operating System.
>user makes the choice to remove systemd and use a different init-system
>countless packages and programs that existed long before systemd and never required systemd to function are now somehow all tangled in an evil, sticky, and obnoxious web of unnecessary forced artificial false dependencies interconnecting throughout the entire OS
>any attempts to regain control rips out half the OS along with everything useful
>OS is now a dead husk
== SysTemD is an STD == quite evil yes? excellently evil

If you really want good out of your firefox browser, consider this. don't use firefox. It's just as bad as windows/google. Use a fork, and the addons:noscript,request policy,https everywhere. Don't ever use facebook. Use FOSS Linux OS with no systemd like Devuan because a good browser means nothing if your OS is junk. The best fork with freedom and privacy as its philosophy is GNU Icecat, which actively removes bad "features". Don't use download mirrors you don't trust or ublock,umatrix because they are botnets like disconnect,duckduckgo,ghostery,adblockplus being shilled as an agenda to undermine,destroy,replace actual good addons Specifically: httpseverywhere,requestpolicy,noscript,AdblockEdge.

They did it. They just put ads from their "first wave of partners" into your "new tab". So there will be more "waves". And, of course, they track what tiles are displayed in your tabs, as well as when you click them or even hover over them. That's all sent to Mozilla servers and then to the advertisers.
The weird thing, though, is that all the tech websites ran a "wave" of articles about this topic that seem dedicated to defending and justifying this. And then you go to various forums, and 80% of people just repeat those justifications.
When people learned that the new Windows sends data of your every move back to Microsoft, there was a huge backlash all over the internet. But Firefox, with its shiny "privacy and user experience!" slogans is somehow left off the hook. What's going on?
They surely won't stop there, too. Since they've shown their true colors, they will now push to remove adblock and noscript from their add-on stores. The foundation for that was laid down when they required all addons to be signed before users can install them. But no one noticed the problem with it back then either, for some reason.
So, you will just switch to "insert Firefox fork" and forget about all that? Good luck, those forks are developed by just a few people and can be abandoned at any time. It's doubtful they will be able to keep up with even just the security fixes Firefox adds. Maybe IceCat is the future?

Anything other than a Blink or Gecko browser will run modern sites like shit.
Using a webkit browser would be fine but doing so voids you of 90% of browser extensions that make chrome and firefox useful. You also loose codecs because no one wants to license flash or h264
This is the best alternative ive found which is just Chromium but it has a launch script that updates everything automatically and you can change the ini file to download a version with flash and codecs http://www.henrypp.org/product/chrlauncher

Having used both, I'm leaning toward Qute lately. I don't even want firefox or xulrunner installed anymore if I can help it.
Also, there's a neat website for memorizing the keybinds: https://www.shortcutfoo.com/app/dojos/qutebrowser/learn
I like the hinting system. There's a config setting to change the available chars to the dvorak homerow. That and the :r command make it way faster to open a bunch of links all at once.

What is a good privacy alternative to Firefox? I heard that FF57 makes telemetry mandatory. What forks will still let me use my existing addons/themes while porting Mozilla's security fixes and removing their bullshit like mandatory telemetry and Pocket?

The main thing that keeps me from switching from Chrome is I like the url/search bar too much to quit.
If there was a way to get Opera or something set up like that, and not have it take ten years to open I might look into switching.

Still using Firefox. I don't use AdBlocker, I use AdClicker (AdNauseam), it's based on uBlock. Also, when I have to go to dangerous sites (like Forbes), I enable NoScript. And I disabled default "Use recommended performance settings" and gave it 7 content process limit. Now it uses as much RAM as jewgle chroom, but it's much faster. If you are using Linux, I suggest you get GNU IceCat.

In case no one brought up what rms uses yet, here it is, from https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html, tldr he uses lynx, konqueror, and IceCat
" I am careful in how I use the Internet.
I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).
I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that is enough to prevent my browsing from being connected with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods."

Install pi-hole on a raspberry pi, plug it into your modem. Now have the modem route all DNS requests through the pi-hole. On your browser install umatrix and only enable scripts if the site is broken. Problem solved. Also saves you an assload of ram and improves privacy.

Google intentionally adds codes that fuck over other browsers and disable their optimizations.
One of the more recent examples was that they added an invisible `<div>` on top of all Youtube videos, which caused a lot of non-Chrome browsers to not render it using hardware acceleration.

just install noscript, it needs a bit to get used to it but soon enough you have blocked content you don't want to see and i don't think you are visiting this much different sites so you can easily whitelist the stuff that's important.
