New FireFox: Seems Very Fast
-
Just trying out the new FireFox. So far, it does seem very fast. Last night I had MS Edge running (with only 2 tabs open) and it ate up 500MB of Memory and Win10 reported that I was low on memory. Wow, Edge, just wow. Not even Visual Studio does that to me. Have any of you tried the new FireFox? Just curious. EDIT Checking out Dev Tools (web console, etc). So far it looks good. Regular Browsing Also, looks like new FireFox uses styles in interesting ways. I like the different fonts it's using to render the page. Looks quite good.

I used it seems very Chrome like... :omg:
It does. It is interesting that they've written it in Rust in an attempt to leverage the power of multi-cores. And it does use a different CSS renderer : Inside a super fast CSS engine: Quantum CSS (aka Stylo) – Mozilla Hacks – the Web developer blog[^] Which could be good or bad (especially for devs). But it does seem to look decent. Not too bad so far and again I do like the different fonts and styles it seems to apply. The screen seems a bit more readable / clear.

The only downside I spent five minutes look for Chrome Cast...

It's nice, except for the new version of an extension that doesn't have all the features of the older version that's not compatible with the new FF.

Yes, I see after reading a bit that many extensions aren't updated for the new FF and many don't work at all.
For this reason, I only allowed my "junk" machine to update to FF 57. It's bad enough that they don't support the old extensions - but they don't even have any replacements for what I'm looking for.

I don't think it, Firefox may run faster than normal but it is still low in comparison with other sites
