My favorite part of Firefox is Ublock Origin.

[-] BleakBluets@lemmy.world 126 points 5 months ago

Mine is the tail plug, but UO is a strong second.

I’m all for people using Firefox instead of Chrome, but RAM being used up shouldn’t be a complaint unless something else needs that RAM. If it’s there, it should be considered usable.

[-] brap@lemmy.world 38 points 5 months ago

Yep, I didn't buy that RAM to sit being unused.

[-] xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 5 months ago

It's specifically about the efficiency of the usage. If it's not used effectively, then it really is a waste.

And we all know how efficient the Web is nowadays...

If it did a good job freeing it up when needed then sure, but it doesn't.

Yeah. Use Firefox or kiss a free Internet goodbye.

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 31 points 5 months ago

I worry even Firefox is losing its principles on the matter.

[-] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 5 months ago

Then use a firefox fork that's more in line with your beliefs. It's a pro of open source

I'm never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don't really care.

isnt that the one that clicks on ALL the ads so they have a harder time profiling you?

the scriptures allow for this one on sundays, but dont tell the orthodox traditionalists.

Best thing about Firefox is stability somehow it works nearly all devices

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

So for some reason Firefox doesn't work most of the time on my parent's ISP. It simply doesn't find sites 80% of the time. I can take the same wifi adapter and move it to my place and it works fine. I've messed arounfld with different DNS and stuff, and I just can't get it to be reliable there.

It's super annoying.

[-] SubatomicSkeptic@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

It sounds like an issue with DNS-over-HTTPS. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https Changing the DNS in the network settings of the operating system would not fix that.

They should, might be in a better mood then..

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 40 points 5 months ago

I was at a party a few weeks ago and when we needed to use a web browser, one of the first things that happened was one of the attendees taking the computer to install FireFox.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 35 points 5 months ago

I put in a tailplug and put on fox ears every time I use Firefox.

[-] Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml 28 points 5 months ago

"I'm so used to getting fucked by Chrome and Edge that I just feel like something's missing if I don't."

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I actually got kicked out of school because I wouldn't use internet explorer, but Firefox is still the best option. Always was. Even if you need a special chair.

Ngl, I've never had issues with either for ram. my experience with Firefox is mostly the sameas chrome with ram usage. The main reason Im on Firefox is cause it's been a whole lot more stable for me than chrome.

Firefox users may very well be doing that and no one will know because Google is not spying on them through their browser.

As for the last question, yes the murring and the tail thingy aren't forbidden, to be clear.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 12 points 5 months ago

Just create more ram out of thin air with zram. I've got 60gb now. 30 something actual ram (some of my 32gb gets allocated for the APU) and the same amount as zram. I can run 2 chrome instances now!

Firefox is for the weak.

Real men use NCSA Mosaic.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

I just telnet to port 443.

Me circa 1993: This world-wide web thing is interesting, but it will never replace Gopher.

True story.
