More reasons to stick with Firefox

[mrk]

Many of you know that Firefox offers more extension and customisation support than any other browser out there. It's the main reason I've been using it as my main browser alongside Chrome, and IE (now Edge too).

Personally I have never had issues with rendering or reliability on PC, but on Android I have noticed content heavy pages (mainly man-sized forum image/gif threads) sometimes struggling to load fast enough.

Seeing the recent news about Quantum being enabled in Firefox, I think it's worth while checking out once more for those who moved away to other browsers and haven't tried it since.

A benchmark from March showed Servo rendering a graphics-heavy page at 60FPS, with a nightly WebKit build at 5FPS and Chrome Canary at 15FPS. Servo's graphics backend is scheduled to arrive in Firefox as part of Project Quantum, and that's just one component.

Pretty impressive stuff!

Only downside is end of 2017 is when it's expected...

What browsers do you all use?

Problem with Chrome is that the bookmarks manager is still a load of balls.

You can't properly organise bookmarks with separators like you can in other browsers.

And there's no ftp client like fireftp, which has a "copy http URL to clipboard",or right click browse from the ftp window. In fact I've not actually found another client that has that feature, and that's one of the handful of reasons I stick to Firefox, and by relation, Firefox on Android because of the sync feature for everything.

I have already restructured them! If I segmented them into even more folders I'd end up having to scroll just the list of folders alone, which I don't want to do

Bookmarks management has been high on the list of user desirable for years now, and Google don't seem bothered :/
