Multi-process Firefox brings 400-700% improvement in responsiveness
I switched to Firefox from Chrome about 12 months ago. It isn't as good as Chrome, but I was trying to reduce my Google dependencies.<p>It has been mostly fine (except for an annoying OS-X multi-screen bug where it screws up the sizing).<p>I was really looking forward to this feature to help close the gap on Chrome performance.<p>Until August (I think Firefox 48.x), when it became unusable on any site with... something. I'm not entirely sure what triggers it- I don't think it is just video alone. Something make the entire browser lock up entirely for minutes, and sometimes it even runs out of memory and I have to kill it via the OS.<p>No add-ins (except for Firebug).<p>Frustratingly, I can't replicate it well enough to be a useful bug report.<p>I'm <i>this</i> close to switching back. Muscle memory and shortcuts to Firefox is the only thing stopping me.<p>So.. this will be great, but please make it a workable browser.
