Firefox Quantum

[Richard]

I agree that Quantum is a much more slick affair, though moving the refresh button caused me a few obvious moments of hunting without initial success. Swapping windows is now very fast – I tend to have at least 6 on the go so notice that sort of thing.

Your spot on, while doing the test at first glance it looks like a US ip, but on close inspection, it warns chrome on android (amongst others) is leaking your actual ip too. Interesting. I only use it for tricking The footy that is live in the US, which works (for now), but I think I’ll have to have a play with other browsers.

Firefox for Android can run the Web-RTC addon – and is/was always a good mobile browser. If Quantum (mine has updated today) perks the desktop up too then happy days – I’ve always preferred FF over Chrome (usability rather than performance).

I’m fortunate enough to have an ex-pat mate in the Sates with a uber-internet connection, so for me the only issue with 3pm Saturday is what you have to watch – not whether you can watch it! In return his missus gets Strictly!

I had one of those, a long time ago:

The bruises faded with time….

The scars are hidden…. ?

I think they’ve missed a trick, not turning the fox on the globe so that the tip of the tail became the tail of the Q.

I’m going to check FF and Dolphin HD (if it’d still around) as that was my default go to for years on android before chrome launched. I always liked it better than chrome, it was just chrome linked with my desktop better, with the chrome to go add on. Something that’s not used anymore. Going back some years now.

I really the FF app, some nice features and il use it when I need the vpn as it does stop the RTC leak, but sadly it is alot slower than chrome on my Pixel. Alot slower, a quick test just loading this site, and it must take at least twice as long to load it.

Ive had a theory for years that the march of computer progress, just makes us less and less patients. Them extra milliseconds years ago would be so much quicker than a page loaded say 10 years ago, and we was all fine then, 10 years later it now a relative eternity, and just angers us.

Eventually the human race will have zero patients. This can’t be a good/healthy trend.
