Title: Firefox users are basically not capable of rational thought anymore.
Post by: Kenneth Kenstar on February 15, 2011, 12:46:49 pm
Mozilla literally believes there is no need for a 64 bit version of Firefox 4.0, so there are simply just not going to have one.

Literally.

In 2011, Mozilla can not fathom that a web browser might use more than 4 gigs of RAM.

These are the same guys that make FIREFOX by the way - they literally don't see the need for more RAM access to their program.

Does anyone else see the irony in this? Alt-Ctrl-Del and look at how much your Firefox is using if you are one of "those guys" who doesn't "get it".

Oh look speaking of Firefox 4.

Wow that looks really similar to

Okay, so get me straight.

Instead of using Glorious Google Chrome, Firefox users are going to go out and update their bullshit browser to Imitation Chromium instead of just using the real deal. And I bet anything it's going to fucking suck because

1) It will still be slow and clunky as fuck

2) You'll need to restart the browser to install any extensions and themes

3) It will still have a memory leak.

I don't understand why Mozilla didn't just grab a build of Chromium and rebrand that.

Seriously. Why would anyone use Firefox at this point except out of being a sheep to Mozilla?

Even if you don't like Google and don't want to use the best web browser ever, you could at least switch to Chromium or even Opera.

Even Internet Explorer is a better browser than Firefox Now

Wanna see four styles of crap?

So, this is basically Mozilla's take on Chrome's design. Okay.

WHY DO WE NEED TWO BOOKMARK BUTTONS

Does Mozilla think it's users are dumb? Because I do.

Every single one of these is WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

Mozilla, we don't need ANY reminder of what browser we are using. I'm sure people will realize what they are using once it crashes.

Does this matter? YES it does.

The point of tabs on top is to make it easier to click your tabs. Do you know why it's easier with tabs on top? Because you just need to move your mouse straight up. You don't have to be accurate with this because the tabs are at the absolute top of the screen - you just move straight up.

So, not only has Mozilla completely missed the fucking point of tabs on top, it literally has to debate on which version of their logo to put up in the corner to take up that 1/4 inch of space which completely ruins the point of tabs on top.

I am I wrong in thinking firefox came first so couldnt have copied chrome? Just asking.

also you may be a google shill, cause IE is shitty. I use FF and my shit runs fine.

As far as FF users being dumb, thats just your opinion, and we all know opinions are like assholes.

There is literally an entire mode for Glorious Google Chrome called Incognito Mode which doesn't even save cookies, period. It doesn't save anything. In fact, it's so good at not saving anything, it doesn't even let you reopen closed tabs. You can start Chrome in Incognito Mode every single time if you desire to.

If you fear Google, use Chromium or SRWare Iron.

Chromium is the open source version of Google Chrome. SRWare Iron is a version of Chromium that doesn't report back ANY information.

And, by the way, all the Google "spying" is just stuff being sent to the Google Search. So, if you are worried about that stuff, you absolutely never ever touch Google's website, right?

Right?

And, YES, you will be updating your browser. Being stuck on Firefox 3.5 or 3.6 will be like being stuck in 2007.

In case you didn't know, Chrome, Internet Explorer 9, and Firefox 4 will basically NEED GPU rendering in their browsers. The future of the web is advancing quickly. You will be rendering 3D animations on web pages, soon.

Your post is exactly why you need to be using a Chromium-based browser.

Like seriously. I'm not even trying to be a jerk in this post.

1) Your solution to Firefox bullshit is downloading extensions.

2) Your computer is ten years old.

Make your computer feel young again and use a man's browser.

I use Chrome for some things right now, but Firefox is my primary browser simply because the way I have it's incognito mode set up is much better for me.

That was more about Moth than it was about IE, to be quite honest.

This is about my disappointment of something I used to recommend to people.

I don't understand Firefox's goals anymore while I feel like the Chromium project is one of many things that is going to lead us to the new web.

Hell, while Firefox is fucking up hardcore with tabs on top, Chromium is experimenting with the idea of tabs on the side.

And guess what their reasoning is? It saves on vertical screen space. It's a logical one I think. Ask any Mac user who has moved their dock to sides of their screens instead of the bottom. The "vertical real estate" is worth more to them than it is horizontally.

But, god honestly, can anyone please explain Firefox 4's UI to me, please? The only thing I can fathom is they think minimalistic is trendy or something.

See, Chromium doesn't do this kind of shit. I see logic and good ideas most of the time.

Ever heard of Google Cloud Print?

http://www.google.com/landing/cloudprint/win-enable.html (http://www.google.com/landing/cloudprint/win-enable.html)

See, THAT right there is innovation. When was the last time Mozilla did anything like this?

Yeah.

No fucking shit.

They want to allow you to connect to another computer from Chrome to Chrome...and use the computer.

They are basically telling RDP and VNC to go fuck themselves.

On second thought, reading into some things about this extension is that it can be problematic.

You'll probably be fine running on Windows, though, but apparently you have to set a password.

Huh.

On top of that, it'll ask you for a password every time you update.

That could get annoying.

This link is the reason why it's taken so long to get something like this done. Tell you the truth, I have no idea what NotScript does, but I bet Chrome will still download the scripts anyway...just not execute them.

Anyway, apparently Safari had this problem, too. I imagine fixing this will make a lot of people happy.

I will give Firefox some credit for their version of the Web Developer extension. The Chromium one honestly does not compare.

Chrome AdBlock used to suck, but it seems to be doing better lately.

Some Chrome extensions really trump the fuck out of any Firefox ones. FreshStart is a really awesome session manager.

Compatibility with Greasemonkey-written scripts is getting better. Doesn't matter anyway since a lot of them are written for Chrome now. I like how you can manage them with your Extensions and disable/enable them both on the fly.

I hope this is a direction that those Chromium fellows are planning on; I'd like to see extensions treated like apps. Like, I want my Google Voice extension on all the time and my Gmail extension, but I don't want Web Developer or Fresh start on all the time. I turn them on when I need them.

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t239/Dragonfire967/resourcecompare.png)

As you can see above, firefox uses up more resources than chrome, to display the EXACT same webpage with only one tab open.  I also know for a fact that chrome is more secure than FF or IE, and if a tab locks up, you don't have to shut down the entire browser, just that one tab, as each tab is its own process.

Post by: Locke on February 17, 2011, 05:32:41 pm
To elaborate, FF's problem isn't just memory use. It handles resources...eh, average. It's that it has what are called memory leaks. Basically, idiot programmers who can't manage their pointers end up leaving large swaths of memory reserved but unused, with the OS unable to clear it until the program closes. In fact, Chrome should, at any given time, be using more resources than FF because it splits tabs into processes (provided that FF didn't suck and leak memory like crazy, mind you). However, because tabs are processes, even if memory leaks were rampant in Chrome, they would be cleared whenever the offending tab was closed. That is where Chrome beats FF, in its ability to use resources more intelligently and cleanly.

tl;dr: In a perfect world, FF would actually use less resources, but because it's so badly coded it can't even hope to, and will always lose out to Chrome in real world comparisons.

Uh, actually. I had JUST opened both browsers at same time, and they had only been running for MAYBE 5 minutes when I took that pic.  My point there was FF is more of a resource hog than chrome, and IE is DEFINATELY a hog and it seems to wanna hang up every chance it gets just to spite me.

His point, is Firefox gets worse, the longer it's open.

Fuck you Abe.  You are literally forcing me to use FireFox now since fucking adblock/adblockplus (neither works) does not work to get rid of that fucking cat.  But it works just fine here.  So, I am boycotting using Chrome until you fix adblock or get rid of the cat.

I know that, lol.  I was just pointing out the resource use between FF and chrome.  I've known for a while FF is both a resource hog and leaks memory.

Every single one of these is WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

How is that middle one wrong? The Firefox icon? >_> Every program I've ever run in Windowed mode had its icon there.

I've been waiting for you to show up.




I literally can't find a picture of how good it is on Google Image Search, so I'm going to take a picture of my Glorious Google CR-48.

(http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/2894/img0023p.jpg)

As you can see, the cursor is at the very top of the screen and it is on a tab. This took no calculation on my part. I merely just fingered my touchpad as fast as possible and I'm cool. This is called "Good Design".

Let's take a look at the corner.

(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/576/img0027cu.jpg)

As you can see, there is no Google Chrome logo. There is no icon for it. Those are things which are called "Pointless" or "Belongs on the About Page".

Even though this is Glorious Google Chrome OS, I insure you it looks this way on all the operating systems I use. :)

I think it's just a matter of taste at that point, you hypersensitive loser. >_> I like the top bar just fine.

No one cares what you think. Seriously.

As far as browser design goes, I think out of all people, you have the worst browser opinions of all time. I know that's a strong statement, but...

You literally only switched to Firefox because Windows updated your Internet Explorer 6 to 7 and you didn't like it.

I question my own existence knowing you did that.

I can confirm that. In windowed mode though there's a half-inch of useless space on top of chrome.
Title: Re: Firefox users are basically not capable of rational thought anymore.
Post by: Kenneth Kenstar on February 18, 2011, 03:22:58 pm
Yes, but in windowed mode, you probably don't have Chrome at the very top of the screen, either.

The only time this gets annoying for me is when I use Windows 7. I like how you can drag windows to sides of the screen and they take up half of the screen. :3

But of course, yeah, it isn't truly tabs-on-top anymore when you do that. :-/

I'm glad you think I'm functionally retarded.

But you know what, I'm not using a goddamn computer with 4MB of RAM. I don't need my browser to be ultra minimalistic and use no resources. And the extensions I use either don't work very well in Chrome or don't exist, so excuse me if I don't want warship your precious google chrome and r­ape the bandwagon with you elitist faggots.

There are plenty of retards that are using Chrome actually.

You know why I put that there? Because anyone who would actually use it against me is more interested in being a fucking douche than the discussion istelf.

So you have fun with that.

Sorry, I quoted that in terms of me being an idiot and you are arguing with one, actually.

Don't waste your time taking this personal, read the sig.

Most of my bitching in this topic is towards Mozilla being stupid and not actually thinking Firefox users are stupid, god honestly. At least from what I remember.

And I'm kinda trolling a tiny bit. Tiny.

You are wrong though, you do need to worship Google Chrome.

oh don't worry, I'm not seething with anger or anything.

But either way I only see nit-pickey things about firefox in here.

I actually disagree that defeating the point of tabs on top is nit-pickey. I think that is a major flop.

You have taken a feature and stripped it of it's functionality and it became pure aesthetics.

This is comparable to say Firefox going with the Chrome idea of combining the address and search bar together, but burritos out the search bar capabilities.

That doesn't make any sense does it?

It makes as much sense as adding the Firefox logo above the tabs. It's going to be bad enough if it has a title bar, too.

The reason it is wrong:

That is the browser they took it from, and they still did it wrong. There's actually an option in Opera to put the title bar back and move the tabs down if you really want it, but the shrunk version is the default. Judging by those screenshots, even if it can shrink at all, the full size is default. The reason why it matters is because on most computers, the vertical screen size is the smaller size, and thus at a premium. The smaller the browser is vertically, the more of the page can be displayed.

I had both Firefox and Chrome open at work today.  Granted FF had two windows open, while chrome only had 1, but FF was using 3x the memory.  All of the pages displayed were basically static, with only a couple small gifs.  But what was weird was that there were two Chrome processes running.  Both taking about the same memory.  But I only had one window open.

Hit Shift-Esc, it'll show you what each process corresponds to.

Also, somewhat unrelated but funny:

If you hit Shift-Esc it runs Chrome's task manager, which names the processes so you can see what they are.

I will give Firefox some credit for their version of the Web Developer extension. The Chromium one honestly does not compare.

Chrome AdBlock used to suck, but it seems to be doing better lately.

Some Chrome extensions really trump the fuck out of any Firefox ones. FreshStart is a really awesome session manager.

Compatibility with Greasemonkey-written scripts is getting better. Doesn't matter anyway since a lot of them are written for Chrome now. I like how you can manage them with your Extensions and disable/enable them both on the fly.

I hope this is a direction that those Chromium fellows are planning on; I'd like to see extensions treated like apps. Like, I want my Google Voice extension on all the time and my Gmail extension, but I don't want Web Developer or Fresh start on all the time. I turn them on when I need them.

I don't like the FF web developer suite.... the Webkit Inspector takes the cake in my mind. What exactly makes it better?

Also, check out the IE9 Dev Tools sometime. Huge strides, some neat stuff there
