Story of my fucking life right now. What did they do, hire a bunch of software mungers from MicroSoft?
I'm switching to Opera for awhile.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Chrome seems to be pretty good but that's only after using it for a few days.
ReplyDeleteFirefox on MacOS is broken too. After a while it just gets slower... and slower... and slower... until eventually it just doesn't do anything at all no matter what you click. Safari has no such problem. And no, it's not a memory leak, I checked with the Activity Monitor utility and Firefox was not using significantly more memory than expected, and every other application was running plenty fast. Telling Activity Monitor to sample Firefox showed that Firefox was spinning on a lock for some resource shared between its threads. More than that, I can't tell, other than it appears that they hired some of the former Netscape 4.x programmers to work on it (Netscape 4.x was the broken version of Netscape that killed Netscape Communications, they spent literally four years trying to get it reliable and never did, then when they released the source code the people who looked at it were so appalled at how badly it was written that they wrote Firefox instead of trying to fix it).
ReplyDeleteBTW, I once had the pleasure of serving under a VP of Engineering who had been the manager in charge of Netscape Navigator version 4.0. Yes, he was just as incompetent as you would expect...
