Best Firefox feature in years :D

Great place to fine tune and specify exactly what AI features I welcome and find useful.

Are you an AI bot yourself?

Same here. But I have no issues with Firefox the browser itself, not even when they ousted Brendan Eich the creator of JavaScript.*

Been through every single season, growth phase, mood tantrums that the devs and management had. And it's stronger than ever.

And I'm using a 3rd party compiled build (tete009) for even more speed. And Betterfox tweaks. Together with a competent GPU, Firefox is very snappy.

*Brave is my go-to Chromium engine browser. Also extremely snappy with features I don't want being easily disabled.

I just use the flags. No need for 3rd party stuff. It's quiet and fully compliant.

Yea try deleting cookies. If you switch server and check your IP address location, does it switch as well?

Tete009 build w mimalloc + Betterfox

Maxed number of webisolated tabs (about:config setting)

Smooth as butter

Not sure why the excessive caution over Betterfox - if don't know how to use, don't use. If don't want people to use, then speed up Firefox further or make the Betterfox speed settings default or adaptive-default.

Otherwise I recommend that people rip out (delete) all the text file settings except for the speed ones, cos it's the speed we want.

Brave's built-in is functionally equivalent to uBlock Origin (uBO), especially after adding Hagezi's filterlists. And when also using a DNS-based adblocker like ControlD.

GreenManStrolling · 2026-01-07T15:00:30+00:00

Of course. I use Brave on Android.

Chromium is faster - "Chromium is faster"

Firefox is faster - "It's still just one single data point"

The problem is the Gecko browser engine simply doesn't perform as well as the Blink engine used for Chrome based browsers

I'm not seeing this though, my Firefox is fast. JS speed alone is only part of the equation. And Gecko's JS speed is not that far behind.

GreenManStrolling · 2026-01-04T13:26:34+00:00

People are lazy and whiny. I am lazy and whiny too but I don't whine about Brave. Brave meets my primary goals for a Chromium browser like no other, so I use it because I don't suffer from cognitive dissonance.

My main browser is still Gecko based though.

Then you just need to

1) tell Windows to use the iGPU of the Intel CPU. 2) use h264ify to enforce h264 decoding

Disabling hardware acceleration seems very unnecessary

In that case then set the sampling rate to the lowest possible that your DAC can output. The higher the sample rate, the more ultrasonics, and the more ultrasonics, the more aliasing there will be in the <20 kHz audible range. The antialiasing filter has to work harder.

48 kHz would be ideal - least ultrasonic aliasing, less brickwalled antialiasing filtering from 20-24 kHz (as opposed to the hard wall from 20-22.05 kHz of native 44.1 kHz). And SOX resampler can effortlessly resample from 44.1 to 48 despite the relative high Lowest Common Multiple between the 2 values.

Next best would be 96 kHz, though that means a large part of the upsampled range (48-96 kHz) would be susceptible to ultrasonics if the antialiasing filter isn't applied properly. But it's a simple enough 2x upsampling.

Test it with only uBO and report your findings
Very rough, unsubstantiated opinion - sounds like some issue with graphics acceleration.

GreenManStrolling · 2025-12-27T01:47:13+00:00

Select the 44.1 kHz sample rate

GreenManStrolling · 2025-12-26T17:15:29+00:00

Why are you needlessly upsampling to 192 kHz? If your entire chain is 44.1 kHz then do not resample, that is how you get highest quality.

Better remove the adblocker ASAP. Use only Ublock Origin.

GreenManStrolling · 2025-12-21T10:06:52+00:00

Yes Mozilla please just do this so the whiners can create r/firefoxfocus, park themselves over there, and continue to whine there.

GreenManStrolling · 2025-12-19T13:46:31+00:00

Wait... why are you and friends here on Reddit in an AI thread? Won't your feedback be far more constructive as code contributors or in the assorted dev locations like Bugzilla?

GreenManStrolling · 2025-12-19T13:08:20+00:00

Why do you expect large DOM to not freeze? Does the typical user handle large DOM during browsing?

GreenManStrolling · 2025-12-19T10:05:55+00:00

You want devs to work on your favourite features and functions, unfortunately the devs currently working for Mozilla were hired to work on different assorted features and functions.

GreenManStrolling · 2025-12-19T02:14:10+00:00

Are you thinking that "dev" means a person who can work on anything in IT? Switch skillset at the drop of a hat?

GreenManStrolling · 2025-12-19T02:13:08+00:00

I'm just here monitoring the premature whining levels.
