  Firefox Reddit sub is pretty full of outrage posts. Rightfully so.

  I’ve been a long time supporter of Firefox because fuck Google and their Chromium spawns feeding their dominance, but what Mozilla is doing now, I’m planning on moving to Waterfox from the looks of it. Present on all platforms, Android, Windows and Linux, supports sync and has all the tracking and telemetry bullshit stripped out. I just wish they’d get versions up to date a bit faster, but oh well, it’s probably a small team of people doing it in their free time so I can’t complain too much.

    I like Waterfox. I started using it for the JXL support. But it’s significantly more memory-leaky than the current version of Firefox, and small FOSS teams seem to think the standard amount of RAM sold in laptops today is comically low and believe we’re all hauling 64+ GB or something.

  This post is less than half an hour old, can you let people see it first before complaining of silence?

    I’m not complaining. I’m just laughing.

      Damn dude. Is your life really so pathetic that you are honestly deriving please from bad news being delivered to people who are on the opposite side of a fucking web browser debate? That’s sad. I hope things start looking up for you in the future.
