yep, I switched back to firefox a few months ago and it is very good now since v100.
but I am still using chromium for js debugging

No but the other browsers have gotten arguably worse

FF was always decent but the company mozilla just seems to make it worse putting woke stuff in it. I like the browser but hate the company

Its always been usable you stupid bastard!
Grab ESR to avoid the nonsense though.

>2015
Yeah that was like right before the big quantum update. After that I became a shit ton faster, like a completely different browser.

Version 88 is the last somewhat decent version of Firefox. Everything after has been cancerous.

firefox for everything except discord.

gpedit'd msedge.exe for discord, now at 400~mb ram in win10 ltsc.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --app=discord.com/app --window-size=1280,720 --window-position=647,327

>gpedit'd msedge.exe for discord, now at 400~mb ram in win10 ltsc
curious why you'd do this because the discord app by itself in my case doesn't hog that much memory ranging from 300 at the lowest to 5-600 at the max

how many servers are you in?

20. I just counted

I did it do give discord less control. I dont really respect discord enough to install their software / give them access. I never wanted to use discord, I just do because a lot of communitiesI've been in for years migrated there.
Oh well, same-ish RAM use.

Mobile is shit, but dekstop is pretty good, particulary in the privacy aspect

>I did it do give discord less control
makes sense.
