A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Mozilla, please refocus the resources to improve performance, or let FF disappear!
This whole thing with the private data collection is meaningless, if the browser is increasingly niche.
What performance issues do you have with Fx? I use it daily and don't really feel like it's slower than Chrome.
Unfortunately, Firefox is not as efficient as Chrome. On a battery powered devices this matters. Also it doesn't have a native dark mode for web content.
I'm this close to jumping the ship.
Were having radically different experiences. Firefox consumes way less power than chrome on all my machines
Ditto
Firefox is the only mobile browser I am aware of that allows extensions (including adblockers), and this let's the user add functionality like having dark mode everywhere, even on sites that normally wouldn't allow it.
Ahh, I see. I'm usually on desktop PCs and use solar power at home, so the efficiency is less of a concern.
AFAIK the "auto dark mode" in Chrome is experimental and doesn't work well on all sites. Have you tried Dark Reader on Firefox? More and more sites are adding native dark mode, too.
