Comment on It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox

I’ve been using Firefox on desktop and mobile exclusively for a number of years now. I will say the experience isn’t perfect but it’s better than using a browser made by a company that id actively hostile to its users.
It is important to take note that you will experience issues with some websites. For example, astro.build Try scrolling quickly up and down on this page on Firefox vs Chrome (on mobile).

What refresh rate is your display running?
mmagod@lemmy.world 7 months ago
exactly this…
i started out in firefox back in early 2000s… then made the switch to chrome and never looked back…
im not the biggest google-groupie but for me to make the switch, google really had to f up in my eyes… and they did

That’s jittery. What’s causing that?
stifle867@programming.dev 7 months ago
I honestly have no idea of the root cause. Different users are reporting different things. It seems to manifest differently for everyone. At a high level I would say it’s due to the use of a JavaScript framework as a purely static HTML/CSS only site should not be doing this.

I see no difference between mobile chrome/Firefox?
stifle867@programming.dev 7 months ago
A lot of people have been saying this, some have been saying it lags in chrome, and some have been saying it lags in firefox. I’m interested to know what device you have and perhaps what refresh rate your display runs?

What were the main pain points?
teichflamme@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Not OP but one thing I am missing, especially in mobile, is grouping tabs.
Chrome auto groups your tabs, so if I open 5 Amazon links looking for something they are already sorted.
For some reason Firefox doesn’t seem to get this feature
Scolding7300@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I agree, although I forgot that feature ecists in Chromium based ones
rambaroo@lemmy.world 7 months ago
How do you turn that on? I can manually create tab groups but chrome never auto-groups tabs on my Mac at work
teichflamme@lemm.ee 7 months ago
To be honest, I have not used this on desktop, but it’s the default on mobile.

Menu doesn’t open in landscape mode
Tab overview page not working consistently - this one is hard to capture right now but what happens is when you have a large amount of tabs open (say over 30), when you hit the tab overview button it doesn’t take you to the currently open tab in the list, instead it takes you to the very top. This is not the normal behaviour. If you open and close it a few times it will randomly work properly 1/10 times.

Oh on Android I thought mostly for Desktop.
Thank you for sharing. I experience more issues with mobile equivalent apps than their desktop counterparts

Sorry for not clarifying. I tried to on other comments but this is also a post about Firefox Android specifically so I sometimes left that part out.

What’s wrong with that page? I’m not seeing anything in particular.
tourist@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Same
Scrolling was a little jittery on both ff and Chrome for me, but the page has a lot of content on it, so I wouldn’t expect it run silky smooth on everything.
stifle867@programming.dev 7 months ago
I think because of the JS framework it’s using is causing performance issues. Ironic because the website claims 98/100 performance score - the highest of all those that they tested. It works perfectly smoothly on Chrome for me. A simple page like that should not lag/hitch at all.
stifle867@programming.dev 7 months ago
Massive lag on scrolling. Are you not seeing this? I’ll record the screen in a minute.
lemmyvore@feddit.nl 7 months ago
It was a tiny bit jittery on the first scroll through the page but not very noticeable and it happened in both browsers anyway. That’s about it. I’m on an Xperia 10 III.

video is uploaded here
sorry I wasn’t sure where to upload the video running a pixel 7 pro it’s hard to come across on video but it is there. hitching/jittery/lag on ff, perfectly smooth on chrome
i’m surprised by the comments, everyone has been having mixed results
