chrome is better but it use too much memory (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

…Then it isn't better.

…Then it isn't better.

But does Firefox give all my data directly to an advertising company with little to no recourse? Didn't think so, that simple convenience is easily worth the trade-off in memory usage. Not to mention the stranglehold on web standards Google gains by having the vast majority of users on a Blink based browser. The advantages keep piling up.

Nice sarcasm

I've learned that if you don't lay it on way too thick you risk not agitating everyone who reads it

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie. Then I re-read.
Since this reads like a juvenalian satire, I was still able to grasp it via text. (Juvenalian satire is usually biting and heavily bitter/sarcastic about something someone is genuinely troubled by, as opposed to that which just tries to make light of something).

edge for less RAM usage maybe

Literally Chrome.

Since at the time the only other major SNES emulators worth speaking of were zsnes (uses x86 assembly) and bsnes (super demanding), there was probably just no better option there.

Just use RetroArch they compile all the free emulators.


I think the only emulator that has a better paid version is switch at the moment.

That didn't exist on iOS at the time I'm describing; in fact, not sure if libretro/retroarch was even a thing at all (around 2010-2012 at latest).
If you read my full post you'd know that.

Also, current retroarch doesn't run on iOS 8 either so my old untethered jailbroken idevices can't run latest retroarch either. And there's no way I can find to download a version old enough to support it.

Not that I care much, iOS is junk.

Wii U, too (my definition of “free” is the Stallman definition, more or less), though I expect some skullduggery is involved in that mess (as in, since it's not open, I assume that they had some leaked documents or other illicit materials, sort of like N64 emulators with the “Oman Archive” in the 90's.) I hate that they made so much money via that patreon and they don't even feel the need to give back to the community by sharing their sources and helping everyone else better understand the hardware and software of the Wii U.

This one is using Waterfox. So pretty much Firefox with minor tweaks.

Chrome

I actually love Firefox because its extensions can do a lot more things than Chrome extensions. Even though Firefox Quantum was a total downgrade to its capability, it's still the most customizable browser by far. For example, the Tree Style Tab extension can utilize Firefox's sidebar as a vertical tab bar with hierarchy. In addition, I can write some user CSS to remove the native tab bar, saving some precious vertical space.

However, I have used Chrome for 4 years. There are tons of extensions and data with it, I can't just simply ditch it then go for another browser.

New chrome zero-day. Exploit posted on github. Does not come with a sandbox escape.

Firefox is waay tooo slow, Google Chrome keep removing my extensions
I use other chromium browser because I can export my google chrome customization and stuff

Firefox is waay tooo slow

What year did you last test this?

From the "What could have been, but isn't" department, we came this close to using a Lisp dialect to write scripts in webpages. Now I'm once more sad at what we lost and upset with Java for existing, and by its mere existence corrupting everything else.

In unrelated news, succeeded in coercing an RPG Maker MV game with just a .exe bundled into running on Linux using a separate download of nw.js (which apparently RPG Maker MV uses internally). Wasn't really very complicated, but possibly due to my poor search queries I wasn't able to find anyone else doing it (even though I'm certain someone has before).

It's basically just

CODE

/path/to/nwjs/nw /path/to/game

Also, my framerate more than tripled (8fps -> 30fps) when I added the '--disable-gpu' command-line argument on my laptop. That was kind of funny.

It's still a pity nw.js and electron both use V8/chromium, though, since V8 still doesn't fucking build on 32-bit PowerPC and no one cares enough to make it work.

Brave

firefox

Just compiled Firefox 88 from source; I took the opportunity to revert a dumb change they made (replacing 'view image' with a less-versatile 'open image in new tab' button, to copy Chrome/Chromium) and to re-introduce the traditional XUL-based about:config dialogue.

Middle clicking or ctrl-clicking "view image" had the same impact as the new menu item does, but the new menu item doesn't allow opening the image in the current tab, so it's less versatile now.

Mozilla doesn't care anymore, not as long as the management can still rake in the big bucks.

I hate that they're the only game in town that isn't directly feeding the webkit/blink monopoly.

Oh yeah, the next two releases are scheduled to revamp the UI again and break my customizations, so I have that to look forward to fighting with all over again to get my tabs on the bottom and my find bar above the page.
