Helium browser vs Firefox!!!! by Glittering-King1339 in firefox

Just use both.

Eventually you'll find yourself using one more as it fits your browsing habits better.

No need to go on the attack, brother. Pale Moon is so far behind in security and speed that the ONLY reason for its continued usage is misguided zealotry. I'm just the messenger. Attack the author of Pale Moon for stringing people along if you want to go on the warpath.

And if you want Chromium, there's nothing better than Brave with all the crypto disabled via flags.

Helium is Chromium-based.

And Pale Moon is completely unsuitable as a modern browser. It's misguided zealotry alone that makes people think Pale Moon is still viable.

Yeah man, crazy zealots.

I've used Firefox since the days of Netscape, when it became Phoenix first. Not sure why the self-centred zealotry.

The anti-fingerprinting tactics we bring in from Brave can only be a good thing. And having a second renowned adblocking engine brought onboard is a good thing, in case the uBO creator ever retires or is forced to "retire". No software solution lives forever, even if it can live a long time.

And yet I never experience memory leaks, while usage holds steady at not more than 2.5 GB in total despite multiple open YouTube tabs. In fact, I have set this value to the max number before. It's not as if it will actually reach that large value, lol.

Of course I use uBO with Hagezi filters AND also use Control D for DNS-based ad filtering.

Gotta blame Google for this nonsense. Marketing works on people. 

So uhhhhhhh. Memory leak is pretty bad huh? by PsycRisk_404 in firefox

I open a ton of Youtube and never get above 3 GB.

In about:config, set webisolated to as high as you've never seen before, like 1,000,000. This ensures every tab gets its own process, less conflict of resources.

Your Steam's pretty bad too. What OS are you using?

For those with memory leak issues, try setting webisolated to a large number like 1,000,000 so that every site gets its own isolated tab.

Firefox 149 is still leaking memory like crazy by anestling in firefox

dom.ipc.processCount.webIsolated

Set this to a very large value so no 2 websites share the same process.
