Firefox user for many, many, many years. I tried chrome once and was dismayed at how sluggish it was, hogging ram & cpu.
FF just gets better and better with every update. I'm amazed that more people aren't using it.
At my school, firefox on the computers are not updated at all so it's using the very old firefox. Even then, it's not that slow. Now the current update is way more modern but it does have the weird stuff like pocket and very weird advertisements bookmarked on the front page. You'll get a much better experience after you do all the adjustments of removing everything and installing the proper extensions, maybe a little arkenfox too.
That's interesting to hear. How come they aren't updating?
Tbh I don't mind those 'ads' you speak of, not sure if we're talking about the same thing because for me it's mostly articles, often quite interesting stuff that I wouldn't have seen elsewhere. Will have a look into arkenfox now as never heard of that
i had i siminular problem in college, they used a program to "freeze" the wi dlws stage, so it reset the state in every boot, but they didn't updated the pc in years
