    I made the switch to waterfox (Firefox fork) that strips out much of the problematic mozilla stuff.

    I started to switch because of the tab containers, as I work across a dozen or so accounts in our MSP business.

    Now I realised how good Firefox can be if you get rid of the bloat.

      I’ve never once used Firefox and thought “man, is there bloat here”. Whatwas bugging you?

        I was mainly referring to how sluggish it was. For my web apps, it was always slower and the UI would bog down. Maybe not the correct definition of you refer to unnecessary features.

        I am more referring to how lean or streamline the software is. Both in front end design and backend.

        A lot of browser performance has to do with how you use it, so my experience is not universal.

        Still, even full fat Firefox is skinny compared to the morbidly obese Chrome and edge browsers.
