If you haven't checked in a while, Firefox is good. Like really good. If you're tired of Chrome taking literally all of your ram and CPU, you should try switching.
@polotek cool. i'm curious if there's any data on this?
not that i'm skeptical - i have been recently using firefox to try reducing the amount of google in my life and also had a good experience so far. but would be nice to have more objective ammo behind that impression :)
(one thing i miss is PWAs installable as if they were desktop apps, and letting them override browser shortcuts and stuff. and there's some tiny random incompatibilities, but not enough to make a difference.)
@agentydragon mobile Firefox does PWA (they appear as native apps), I can't remember trying on desktop honestly
@renatoram @agentydragon seems like it's supposedly possible: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/create-desktop-shortcut-website
@purp @renatoram @agentydragon
This just creates a shortcut, it's even mentioned in the article:
> If you open the shortcut you made, your default browser will open, and display the page for which you made the shortcut
PWA-like containertization used to be possible, but it wasn't without issues, sadly, they preferred to remove that functionality a couple of years ago instead of getting it in order.
I hope they revisit it, now they have FF Containers an it would probably be easier to implement.
