minus-squareJshKlsn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·1 year agoFirefox had multiple full rewrites because it was losing marketshare due to performance. They market this as quantum and they are very up front about it. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/introducing-firefox-quantum/ I’m glad your experience with firefox has been perfect for decades.

minus-squareAbidanYre@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoI never said it was perfect, I said your “weird, buggy, freezing mess” assessment didn’t align with most people’s experience. I remember the quantum rewrite, that was 6 years ago, not terribly relevant today. I also don’t blame Firefox for Google screwing with non-chrome browsers. We saw the same thing 20 years ago with IE.
