It's fast because all incompatible add-ons get turned off 😂😂

Best Desktop Browser?

- Start date
On FF 57? Not gonna lie, it did disable Greasemonkey, Wikiwand, HTTPS Everywhere and Lastpass. Privacy Badger, Reddit Enhancement Suite and uBlock Origin are compatible. So you do have some kind of a point. On the other hand, I've also run stock 56 and stock 57, and you can notice the speed difference there all the same.
yes gaf is whitelisted shut up

Quantum is amazing.
I was about to swap over to another browser due to how buggy and slow 56 was, but this is just perfect for what I need.

All ten of my extensions I had installed in FF55 have WebExt versions 😂😂
Violentmonkey is an open source and compatible alternative to Greasemonkey. The WebExt version of HTTPS Everywhere is available on their site https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere

I use Safari primarily but I do like Chrome too.
Ta, I'll give it a go. If that works then Opera is totally my recommendation for not having to faff with anything.
For me it's still chrome due to the wealth of addons.
Quantum pretty much reset all Firefox addons fresh, you can't use old stuff on it. So until there is a catch-up and its extension catalog starts to mature again, I can't see myself using it full-time... but it's a very strong contender going forward.
Lastpass in particular is essential so I hope they get that updated soon. XMarks too.

You can. All the compatible extensions have a way to migrate your settings to the new extension format (it is either automatic or you just have to click a few buttons).

As soon as Brave has a way to sync passwords, and has ChromeIPass plug-in compatibility, I'll probably switch to that. I might have to try the new Firefox.
I want ot like Firefox, and have even tried to switch a few times from Chrome, but it's just so gd slow in comparison. That reason, and that reason alone is why I feel like I'm stuck with Chrome.

Thanks! Will have a look.
How much faster is 58 (nightly) than 57 (beta)?

FQ with AdNauseum is fucking amazing.

Huh? An extension designed to automatically click on all ads?
Is that what it does?
I just want a good ad-blocking add-on that won't mess up loading pages and also to block pop up windows.

I like the ad and pop-up blocking in Firefox, but it's been really crashy for me the last few months and video playback has always been sketchy. Sites like Giant Bomb always flicker between high and medium quality.
Chrome fixes the crashing problems I have with Firefox and has much better video playback. I also like that passwords and bookmarks carry across to mobile. I've been slowly transferring over to using Chrome more often until I might phase out Firefox entirely.

The only negative I've found about disabling hardware acceleration in browsers is a video streaming service trying to render 4k video can cause choppy playback on my Desktop.

Firefox also has this search mode but instead of pressing tab you just type your chosen keyword followed by your request. You can configure your keywords manually for any website that has a search feature.
For example when I want to search Youtube for the Justice League trailer I just type yt justice league trailer in the address bar.
Decided to give Quantum a shot after reading this thread. Its been years since I used firefox but it seems fine so far. One thing I don't like vs Chrome is the way it displays fonts. Even though they both appear to be using the same fonts, chrome is displaying them with a very slight boldness that I prefer.

Been using it for a couple years now. Hands down the best browser I've ever had installed. It's customization really is what sets it apart. Plus it's Chromium based and running like a dream.
If you download it and have a 64bit system, use the 64bit, it might not be exactly clear on their website which version you are downloading.
Indeed it is!

Also, the idea behind AdNauseam is great.
"AdNauseam is a browser extension designed to obfuscate browsing data and protect users from tracking by advertising networks. Like an ad-blocker, AdNauseam blocks malware and hides ads on the pages you visit. But AdNauseam does more, collecting each ad in its AdVault for you to interactively explore. AdNauseam can also be configured to automatically click each blocked ad in the background, polluting your data profile and frustrating the trackers who violate your privacy and facilitate bulk-surveillance agendas."
oh nice, thanks

I'm not super familiar with Mac Mini, but does it have a regular OSX desktop? Why not just drag the bookmarks out onto the desktop?
Thanks!
