       RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/115737483111161917I have to admit, the performance of a Chromium-based browser compared to Firefox is abysmal. I don't have that many tabs but it lags a lot and the browser constantly puts tabs in hibernation to save memory--something I've never needed with Firefox. So all of you Chrome users live like this? No wonder RAM is in high demand.

       @Gargron Why not trying #librewolf ? It is basically #firefox without all the garbage and a few privacy-oriented tweaks.

       @tachan If I had to use #LibreWolf I feel like I would have to undo all of the "tweaks". Doesn't the browser delete all cookies by default when you close it?

       @Gargron It does, unless you white-list the ones you want to keep.

       @tachan Right. This kind of default tells me the people who make that browser don't use the web like a normal person, so we'll always be at odds with each other.

       @Gargron I've had the exact opposite experience. I evaluated Firefox for several weeks and had to abondoned it due to slow performance. Goes to show how much individual setups can impact the experience. I'm running Vivaldi on a Dell workstation running  Ubuntu. I have 64gb of ram and an older Xeon processor.
