I'm in devQuantom for two days now 😅
Jokes aside and I don't care how many rants about FF but I'm wondering what improvments you guys saw on my end:
1. Starts faster.
That's it. But I read it uses less ram? But on Mac at work it used around 1GB 500 of them were for the main process with only three tabs and the rest are FF service and other stuff.
Either I'm doing something or there is something I need to do. Any suggestions? -
@irene This rant is for you. 😉
For me there was no big update actually, because I'm using the FF beta. I'm just trolling along. -
@theCalcaholic I was using Iridium and switched to FF to see, it is lighter but ironically it uses more ram.
I'll give it a test for few days cuz I really want some lightweight browser that doesn't suck up all the RAM -
@Ashkin I know. :P
But I decided that a tag with as many words as 'pour oil in the fire' doesn't look taggy enough with spaces. -
@gitpush Maybe it's the OS... I have the feeling that FF is tested the least on macOS. But keep in mind that the Quantum update is far from complete and parts of the rendering pipeline are not renewed yet. Especially WebRender.
FF should use a very consistent amount of RAM however even for a huge lot of tabs (I read about a test with ~ 1700 tabs at about 0.5GB RAM).
YAAAY! QUANTUM!
