Start Your Engines -- Firefox Quantum Lands in Beta, Developer Edition

Engines are important, both in cars and in browsers. That’s why we’re so revved up this morning -- we’re releasing the Beta of a whole new Firefox, one that’s powered by a completely reinvented, modernized engine. Since the version number – 57 – can’t really convey the magnitude of the changes we’ve made, and how much faster this new Firefox is, we’re calling this upcoming release Firefox Quantum.

...

Firefox Quantum is such a big leap forward that you’ll feel it instantly, just browsing your favorite websites.

Turns out you can measure Firefox Quantum’s speed, too -- our pit crew is kind of obsessed with a data-driven approach. One simple way of estimating browser performance is with Speedometer 2.0, a (still-in-development) benchmark that simulates modern web applications. Results vary based on the computer and apps you’re actively using, but one thing that’s relatively consistent is that Firefox Quantum is about 2X faster than Firefox was a year ago.

...

So how we did we make Firefox Quantum so fast?

Firefox has historically run mostly on just one CPU core, but Firefox Quantum takes advantage of multiple CPU cores in today’s desktop and mobile devices much more effectively. This improved utilization of your computer’s hardware makes Firefox Quantum dramatically faster. One example: we’ve developed a breakthrough approach to laying out pages: a super fast CSS engine written in Rust, a systems programming language that Mozilla pioneered. Firefox’s new CSS engine runs quickly, in parallel across multiple CPU cores, instead of running in one slower sequence on a single core. No other browser can do this.

XUL was utter garbage in the first place. Those who're whining about it don't know what they're talking about. There's a reason that while Chromium was/is a smash hit, XULRunner never took off, despite having been available for a decade prior.

It'll take some time for Webextensions to catch up (feature wise), but in the end, a standardized world (of browser platforms) is a better world (of browser platforms).

Rust is a low-level language and it's pretty fast. For a CSS engine, Rust is good enough and allows the developers to not care about memory shenaningans. That was why it was created in the first place.

>not SJWLang

Not an argument.

>They're just using this article as an excuse to shill their terrible, social justice garbage language

I could swear it was about the new Firefox and it's new features. I guess that one sentence was the actual point of the post, though.

>terrible, social justice garbage language

Not an argument.

>Meanwhile Chrome still leads the market in JS and general performance

Except FF is catching up. It's already faster rendering CSS elements and is much better at multithreading than Chrome. Their new JS engine isn't ready yet, but it will be faster than Chrome's because it's written from scratch instead of patching up Webkit's yet again, like Blink does.

>Further proof that SJWs and diversity hires cannot do fuckall anything useful

Except for the part where they've shown clear improvements in performance and security.

Care to show what "SJW diversity hires" are they hiring and "ruining" Firefox, or are you just spouting buzzwords to fit and "virtue signal" to your crossboard friends?

>Especially not when they're tasking themselves with reinventing the wheel using the equivalent of a dildo and a can of febreeze to deal with the smell of period blood and curry

Nonsense. Rust was designed to be a memory safe, low-level language to design their browser in without having to worry about memory safety. It's literally a custom-made tool created with their needs in mind.

It's the right tool for the job.

Legacy addons aren't compatible with multiprocess. Some of them were rewritten to be compatible, but for the most part they're not.

XUL addons also are being deprecated for various other reasons:

>XUL addons can't be sandboxed

>XUL addons can access and interact with your PC in the same way FF can. A XUL addon can download/upload files, modify files in your PC and execute scripts. If you're foolish enough to run FF with root access, they could even modify /

>XUL addons are only used by FF, and asking extension devs to learn how to use them for a browser with such a low marketshare is stupid

FF isn't using the same WebExtensions as Chrome. That's FUD. Mozilla has been adding more and more APIs to appease old XUL devs (for example, Tree Style Tabs can now be ported.) They only chose Web Extensions because it would make it easier for Chrome extension devs to port their existing work (which is, in turn, a lot of the extensions available for XUL already.)

>Hahaha why would anyone to know anything about computers ? Wasting time making them learn the same shit over and over again to avoid redundant work

It is. Their work is to make a browser, to use tools that make that work easier is the entire point of computing. Not to mention that using Rust doesn't mean the devs don't know about memory safety, just that they're using a tool that allows them to not care about it.

Are you also against auto-complete and IDEs because that means they can't write or compile in a terminal?

>It's better for everyone to use this tool that makes a critical part of the job

Yes. That's the point.

>Maybe you should stop obsessing over /pol/

Don't forget the fact that JS shouldn't even exist, and executable code has no legitimate place in a web browser (which should be a document browser as originally intended).

>Their work is to make a browser

And for that they needed to re-invent a whole language.

>to use tools that make that work easier is the entire point of computing.

But they needed to reinvent the wheel instead of using what was already existent.

One of the point of computing is to use what is already existing.

You need to be smart to make a program but you need to be smarter to reuse what already exists.

>inb4 but they made something that didn't exist

>Are you also against auto-complete and IDEs because that means they can't write or compile in a terminal?

Your example doesn't make sense.

Abstraction is a kind of very useful methodology but if you push it to much you get horrible things like java.

We have achieved so much in computing, languages still have problems I don't doubt that, but we gone have backwards into teaching the fundamentals of computing/electronics to people and it's not by using languages that forbids certain ways of doing that we are gonna fix that.

Most problems that we have now in computing are human related, it's not anymore about hardware power or language design.

>Yes. That's the point.

And you don't see the problem ?

>You're the one writing like a /pol/jeet with your useless 'SJW diversity' claims an whatnot.

>being this new

If you refer to "pajeet" has /pol/ in the post >>798558

>Thanks for admitting you aren't looking at the language objectively, but to it's context.

I would look at rust objectively the day that rustaceans would stop not being not objective towards their language.

They are the reason that we can't be objective to it, because they are the ones involving something that isn't relevant to the language.

Nobody wants your shitty Rust. There's Ada, and then there's the formally provable Ada-derivative SPARK. Ada is a compiled language like C, and SPARK adds specifications to Ada and removes ambiguous cases.

Best of all, it was made for producing high integrity, high availability, critical systems. Nobody needs your shitty Rustlang for memory protection, because better tech already exists.

Also, almost nobody uses Rust, and yes all the *good* programmers have noticed the shilling. Rust is going to become the compiled JavaScript of the net over the next decade.

(Final thought: the level of Social Justice cancer Pozilla has been promoting, and the Eich event, has left me in a very anti-Pozilla state based on politics. As a Nazi, Pozilla queerism disgusts me.

For the newkids who think Rust is some grand new idea:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_(programming_language)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARK_(programming_language)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Modeling_Language for idea collection/system generation

Ada compilation can be optimized to-where machine code produced is almost as fast as if not equal in speed to C-written code. It is imperative, strongly typed, object oriented, and with SPARK it's unambiguous.

Why learn a meme language written by a bunch of pic related(no really, go look this Klabnik clown up on Google Image Search and tell me he doesn't look like one of the crowd) when a language which does the key things Rust promises has existed for decades? Oooo wow, a dying meme browser re-written in SJWlang which'll be slightly faster because half the good features and pre-WebEx addon components are gone xD. Nevermind Pozilla is forgetting that it lost significant numbers of users over its politics and its constant API breakage.

Pozilla, or whoever grows up to replace it when the carcass finally bankrupts, must do what BDFL Linus did: make the interface between internal app (kernel) and 3rd-party code (userland) be frozen solid. Breaking that interface should be the last option just before abandoning/shutting down the project on the list of options to improve the code. Interfaces are more important than even memory management and type safety. Moving interfaces demand moving code, and moving code can only be debugged iteratively a number of times limited by interface change interval and time dedicated to non-debugging tasks (like new ideas, taking shits, sleeping, etc). Constantly moving interfaces will always keep a project and its ecosystem "in beta." It's amazing how much maturity the kernel team shows in this regard, whereas userland wants to break everything every six months and make stupid shit like systemd.

Only if you choose to sync them with Firefox Sync, which I personally recommend you should. Mozilla really listened to our feedback and built an easier way to safely synchronize our data between the desktop and mobile versions of Firefox. The new Firefox Sync makes it much easier to do initial setup and to add multiple devices.Even if you don't use Firefox on multiple devices, your open tabs/bookmarks/history/passwords will be safely backed up on the cloud, making restoring your data a breeze should you ever need to reinstall your Mac or Windows operating system.

On reddit that >> link and the following text would be reformatted into the same paragraph.

storage is cheap. And storage is even cheaper when there are no serious backup or retention requirements. And sync doesn't need much storage. The only serious architectural challenge with Sync was making the software not fall over when it was first introduced and a lot of users could be expected to try it out at once. Mozilla really honestly fingers-not-crossed could have offered this feature purely on the merits of a couple of guys assuring management that they can do it, and it being something that might make Firefox more attractive.

They're not. You might run into bugs and/or crash the entire browser since they can't be sandboxed.

I was mainly interested in whether it really doesn't phone home to Google. I'm not saying it's perfect, and qutebrowser doesn't necessarily depend on it (you can also use it with QtWebEngine)

WebGL can be turned off, and after I opened a bug asking about a way to turn off WebRTC (or at least the tracking part) that's now possible in Qt 5.9.2 (via a commandline argument) and Qt 5.10 (via a setting).

But the engine is the worst part of Chrome for the future of the web. The more people that use Konqueror forks such as it, the more likely HTML/CSS/JS will cease to be intentionally defined standards targeted by browsers, in favor of Blink's source tree being "the standard" itself, in an endless incontinent dribble of new half-baked "features".

If Mozilla caves, Microsoft will be the only remaining alternative. Things have gotten that bad.

worse still is setting up false dichotomy between mozilla kowtowing and chrome's extreme sheckle grab. Mozilla is the ever so slightly freer option thus the "best" option so trust us to inject DRM into your machine.

I agree, they are a terrible institution and harmful at large, but on an individual level you can customize their "improvements" out. At least with 52esr...

Mozilla employees are pure scum who sold out those who stuck to Firefox in order to attract those who abandoned them for chrome. They also see DRM, which violates like half of the principles in their manifesto, as "not inherently bad"

Also, they are trying to kill userchrome/content.css and probably want to cripple about:config too.

Firefox is dead, no matter what kind of checklist security features they try to implement. They already lost our trust by going full SJW, and trying to enforce policies by making it harder for users to configure the browser to their individual needs. Once you lose trust, it's over.


 No.802592>>802595 >>802708

Nobody cares if they're SJW, people do care about their performance and extensions though. The EME is also a big hit but again people would rather have their video services than security.

I dont really think configuration itself will be chopped but the new API is going to take time to flesh out to the current state. It makes perfect sense to gut the old broken shit right now when they're refactoring. Still sucks and might break them.

>muh EME

Mozilla provides a non-EME download in their webpage. Even if you happen to download a version with EME, Firefox implements it differently than other browsers.

For starters, EME is like an addon or a plugin and runs inside a sandbox in Firefox, so if it's disabled in the Settings page, it will never be executed. It's essentially not installed.

EME is pure cancer, but the way it's implemented by FF not only allows users to never run any of it's code, it also makes it easier to bypass DRM since it could, theoretically, be implemented by other program and record the DRM content.

Man I just want whatever is lightest on RAM because I'm a MULTI-TAB DRIFTER. I tested Cyberfox and Waterfox, and both are no-go. Seeing as Firefox 57 doesn't have any substitute to the add-ons that I depend on the most (preciselt rhe ones dealing with tab management), Palemoon is the only choice. Unless someone here knows of some arcane alternative to conserve RAM.

Just get more ram. It's really cheap. I've got 32geebees and I can have 30 tabs open, Unity's editor running a fairly large game, and Kerbal Space Program in the background and it's still got space to run AE. I have the swap file disabled, too.

>>XUL addons are only used by FF, and asking extension devs to learn how to use them for a browser with such a low marketshare is stupid

By the same token, if someone is going to learn WebExtensions, why even bother porting to to a browser with such low marketshare? And why would want to capture the add-on devs of a rival browser that has a terrible selection of add-ons in the first place? They might as well have tried to abandon their security features and copy Explorer's instead.

The only way this switch well be good is if Mozilla manages to make an amazing Webextensions, undisputably better than Chromium's version, and I doubt they can compete with Alphabet's army. Otherwise, all they have done is effectively to just tell their own users to go away and use Chromium instead.

Case in point: the FF add-ons I depended on the most have absolutely nothing like them in the site, which at the moment is filled with add-ons that add small and useful yet somehow missing features, or downright removed features. In other words, FF 57 requires add-ons just to be on the same level as base 56.
