swarfendor437 Â Â 14 #1 Posted November 17, 2017 What are your experiences? It started off quick but some pages seem slow, then again, it's all down to how much traffic is on the M1 equivalent of the ether-highway I guess. Wonder when congestion charges will creep in?

xdbx   10 #3 Posted November 17, 2017 FF 57 looks good and seems faster. After many years I thought I'd revisit Safari but its still bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ez8004 Â Â 10 #5 Posted November 18, 2017 Depends on the OS Â If you're using macOS I would say Safari. Â For Windows 7 and below, Chrome. Â For Windows 10 with latest updates. Chrome or Edge. Â I would only use Firefox as a backup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

top4718 Â Â 838 #7 Posted November 19, 2017 The latest FF update has been dreadful for me, its terribly slow and constantly freezing, I've had to switch back to Chrome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ashbifs   10 #8 Posted November 29, 2017 I've had problems with 57 and have gone back to 56 and stopped it doing auto updates. A number of the add-ons I have for FF stopped working with v57 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
The Joker   10 #9 Posted November 30, 2017 Firefox 57 is less of a resource hog.  I can leave it running overnight and it doesn’t consume several GB of RAM anymore.  Only took ‘em a couple dozen versions to fix . . .  The new UI is fresh, but difficult to see on a restored window (ie, not maximised / fullscreen) where to click to drag the main window around or tear off tabs to another monitor.  A worthy improvement.

swarfendor437 Â Â 14 #12 Posted December 6, 2017 See Mikes 10 post above and ashbifs post before that. If you want an increasee in browsing speed and not too bothered about extensions you have already, it is well worth ago - You may also want to try Ice Cat (formerly Ice Weasel): Â https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
