minus-squaredbilitated@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agourghhhhh but firefox just doesn’t perform as well. i tried, i really did. i found a 15 year old (!!) bug affecting svg drawing performance that was fucking up a page i was working on, i’m not imagining it. I’m not sure if it’s the same one but i just found a similar bug with a five year old comment saying i guess we’re not fixing it anytime soon… https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483868 I do have it installed and check in occasionally but it feels like a downgrade when i try to use it as a daily driver. is there any way to get a functional de-googled chromium build with settings sync across devices?

minus-squareMubelotix@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoSo it’s ok to not fix it? I agee with original commenter. Firefox is full of bugs, particularly in dev tools, which renders it unusable for me
minus-squareAggressivelyPassive@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoEvery software has old bugs, that’s perfectly normal. The question is how relevant these bugs are for the average customer. If a bug only affects 12 people among the millions of users, it’s not that relevant.
